Ishan Jain
Skewb · top 4.1% of 73,281 all-time · competing since December 2015 · 2015JAIN27
Ishan Jain has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.82, set at Avenues Rubik's Cube Open 2017, puts him in the top 4.1% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 86th in India. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since December 2015, he has put 72 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 23% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 34.42 in December 2015 to 12.66, a 63% improvement. Ishan 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.
