Rithvik Kasam
2×2 · top 0.66% of 189,179 all-time · competing since November 2022 · 2022KASA03
Rithvik Kasam has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.05, set at Twist 'n Turn Hyd Open 2026, puts him in the top 0.66% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 278th in the United States. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since November 2022, he has put 433 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 73% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.80 in November 2022 to 8.33, a 56% improvement. Rithvik has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
