Chaitanya Abhay Joshi has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.65, set at Cubing Returns Munich A 2023, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 130th in Germany. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since July 2022, he has put 137 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.26 in July 2022 to 10.37, a 36% improvement. Chaitanya has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
