Sanjay Chintapally

2×2 · top 4.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since February 2017 · 2017CHIN04

Sanjay Chintapally has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.99, set at Cubing For LLS Summer 2019, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,867th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since February 2017, he has put 344 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.07 in February 2017 to 11.23, a 51% improvement. Sanjay has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
