Jai Gambhir

2×2 · top 3.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since May 2007 · 2007GAMB01

Jai Gambhir has been competing for 19 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.69, set at Toronto Open Summer 2009, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 196th in Canada. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 36 competitions since May 2007, he has put 1,588 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 28.94 in May 2007 to 8.60, a 70% improvement. Jai has entered 36 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
