2×2 · top 2.5% of 189,179 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022AREL03
Pranav Arelli has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.57, set at Simpson Scramble 2023, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 993rd in the United States. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2022, he has put 126 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 53% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.94 in October 2022 to 11.28, a 40% improvement. Pranav 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.
