Atharvaa Karthik
2×2 · top 6.6% of 189,179 all-time · competing since April 2024 · 2024KART05
Atharvaa Karthik has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.24, set at Ohio Championship 2026, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,641st in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since April 2024, he has put 66 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 34.93 in April 2024 to 16.54, a 53% improvement. Atharvaa has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
