2×2 · top 2.1% of 189,179 all-time · competing since October 2014 · 2014BHAR10
Ishan Bhardwaj has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.49, set at MathSoc Open 2016, puts him in the top 2.1% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 158th in India. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since October 2014, he has put 310 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 72% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 2×2 best has come down from 3.71 in October 2014 to 1.49, a 60% improvement. Ishan has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
