Sithupa Sanudaya has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 0.92, set at Sri Lankan Nationals 2024, puts him in the top 0.41% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1st in Sri Lanka. Until November 2011, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since April 2023, he has put 350 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 14.38 in April 2023 to 8.40, a 42% improvement. Sithupa has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
