Ayan Guha
Skewb · top 2.8% of 74,164 all-time · competing since August 2016 · 2016GUHA01
Ayan Guha has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.47, set at CubingUSA Southeast Championship 2019, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 421st in the United States. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since August 2016, he has put 370 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 74% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:01.21 in August 2016 to 11.05, an 82% improvement. Ayan has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
