Atharva Barve

2×2 · top 10.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2016 · 2016BARV02

Atharva Barve has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.70, set at Pittsburgh Open 2018, puts him in the top 10.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,307th in the United States. Across 5 competitions since December 2016, he has put 90 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.83 in December 2016 to 15.30, a 38% improvement. Atharva has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
