Menuli Vidhanya Ranwala

2×2 · top 2.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2022 · 2022RANW01

Menuli Vidhanya Ranwala has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.61, set at Sri Lankan Nationals 2024, puts her in the top 2.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 9th in Sri Lanka. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since September 2022, she has put 310 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 65% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside her 3 DNFs. Her 2×2 best has come down from 5.31 in September 2022 to 1.61, a 70% improvement. Menuli has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 2×2. 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.
