Ayaan Saxena has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.39, set at Square-Fun in Bloomsburg 2023, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 173rd in India. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since March 2022, he has put 171 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 15.51 in March 2022 to 12.34, a 20% improvement. Ayaan has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
