Sourish Datta
2×2 · top 4.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2022 · 2022DATT01
Sourish Datta has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.91, set at Cedar Park Winter 2023, puts him in the top 4.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,655th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since April 2022, he has put 406 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.48 in April 2022 to 9.88, a 32% improvement. Sourish 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.
