2×2 · top 6.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2022 · 2022SHRE02
Birat Shrestha has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.17, set at IEEE Cubing Nepal 2025, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 11th in Nepal. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since June 2022, he has put 309 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 57% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 26.12 in June 2022 to 10.08, a 61% improvement. Birat 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.
