3×3 · top 9.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2021 · 2021SAIN01

Ayuj Saini has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.72, set at Pittsburgh Fall 2021, puts him in the top 9.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,237th in the United States. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since July 2021, he has put 22 official solves on the record across three events. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.85 in July 2021 to 10.72, a 28% improvement. Ayuj has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
