Maahir Srivastava has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.40, set at DuPage Fall 2024, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,199th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since December 2023, he has put 156 official solves on the record across ten events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 29.82 in December 2023 to 14.92, a 50% improvement. Maahir has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
