Raghav Ailawadi
2×2 · top 2.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2015 · 2015AILA02
Raghav Ailawadi has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.66, set at Shri Ram Cubing Challenge 2016, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 210th in India. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since April 2015, he has put 131 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 13.34 in April 2015 to 1.66, an 88% improvement. Raghav has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
