Sanchit Ashish has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.54, set at MathSoc Open 2017, puts him in the top 2.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 172nd in India. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since October 2015, he has put 572 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 62% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.78 in October 2015 to 10.35, a 45% improvement. Sanchit has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
