2×2 · top 7.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2014 · 2014IYER03

Omkar Iyer has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.36, set at Princeton Fall 2016, puts him in the top 7.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,991st in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 23 competitions since June 2014, he has put 739 official solves on the record across ten events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 39.46 in June 2014 to 10.16, a 74% improvement. Omkar has entered 23 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
