Aseem Unmesh Joshi

2×2 · top 4.6% of 189,179 all-time · competing since August 2017 · 2017JOSH06

Aseem Unmesh Joshi has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.97, set at RGIT Cube Open 2019, puts him in the top 4.6% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 341st in India. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since August 2017, he has put 289 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 66% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His Skewb best has come down from 9.88 in September 2017 to 3.06, a 69% improvement. Aseem has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, Skewb. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

The story so far

Competitions

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
