2×2 · top 9.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2015 · 2015SHIK02
Ishayu Shikhare has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.58, set at Hayward Rubik's Rumble 2016, puts him in the top 9.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,826th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since July 2015, he has put 48 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 52.64 in July 2015 to 19.65, a 63% improvement. Ishayu has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
