Lakshya Jain

2×2 · top 2.3% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2014 · 2014JAIN09

Lakshya Jain has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.53, set at Cubing ATMOSphere 2016, puts him in the top 2.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 167th in India. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2014, he has put 192 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.59 in June 2014 to 11.16, a 37% improvement. Lakshya has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
