Sukesh Subaharan has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.46, set at Chennai Mathematical Institute Open 2012, puts him in the top 2.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 148th in India. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since February 2011, he has put 620 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 74% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 54.11 in February 2011 to 10.95, an 80% improvement. Sukesh has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
