Ayaansh Mathur has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.14, set at Delhi Cube Challenge 2025, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 555th in India. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since August 2023, he has put 278 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 19.48 in August 2023 to 9.14, a 53% improvement. Ayaansh has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. 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.
