2×2 · top 8.9% of 189,179 all-time · competing since October 2012 · 2012SRIR02
Siddharth Sriraman has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.49, set at VIT Rubiks Cube Challenge 2014, puts him in the top 8.9% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 730th in India. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since October 2012, he has put 328 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 75% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.05 in October 2012 to 10.59, a 58% improvement. Siddharth 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.
