Kartikeya Lohan has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 27.87, set at BCM Arya Cubing Challenge 2022, puts him in the top 58.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 9,112th in India. Across 6 competitions since September 2018, he has put 51 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 30% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 45.97 in September 2018 to 27.87, a 39% improvement. Kartikeya has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
