Dhanayush Raninga has been competing for 17 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.06, set at DJ SpeedCubing Open 2012, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 397th in India. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 26 competitions since February 2010, he has put 1,188 official solves on the record across twelve events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 34.44 in February 2010 to 9.80, a 72% improvement. Dhanayush has entered 26 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
