2×2 · top 51.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since May 2022 · 2022PENU01

Jaivik Reddy Penubolu has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 6.02, set at Derwood Cubing Derby Spring 2026, puts him in the top 51.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 20,807th in the United States. Across 7 competitions since May 2022, he has put 73 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% 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 2:01.93 in May 2022 to 37.69, a 69% improvement. Jaivik has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
