2×2 · top 9.8% of 186,892 all-time · competing since March 2018 · 2018DEVA02

Dakshin Devanand has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.59, set at Flag City Fall 2018, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 186,892 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,865th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2018, he has put 159 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 91% of the 35,848 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.36 in March 2018 to 10.83, a 44% improvement. Dakshin has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
