Harsh Kanjariya has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.27, set at Tesseract Open 2019, puts him in the top 6.8% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 538th in India. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since October 2017, he has put 225 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 66% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.34 in October 2017 to 11.63, a 43% improvement. Harsh has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
