Karan Maini

2×2 · top 47.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since February 2014 · 2014MAIN02

Karan Maini has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 5.65, set at National Cubing Region Open 2015, puts him in the top 47.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,499th in India. Across 7 competitions since February 2014, he has put 77 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:00.55 in February 2014 to 38.39, a 37% improvement. Karan 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.
