Maitreyaa Gowri Shankar

2×2 · top 27.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022SHAN11

Maitreyaa Gowri Shankar has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 4.08, set at Bangalore Cube Open July 2023, puts him in the top 27.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,395th in India. Across 5 competitions since August 2022, he has put 56 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 58.17 in August 2022 to 23.27, a 60% improvement. Maitreyaa has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
