2×2 · top 5.4% of 186,767 all-time · competing since January 2016 · 2016JOSH02

Swastik Joshi has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.10, set at Delhi Cubing Heat Wave 2018, puts him in the top 5.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 417th in India. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 25 competitions since January 2016, he has put 698 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 63% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 57.90 in January 2016 to 9.47, an 84% improvement. Swastik has entered 25 competitions, more competitions than 98% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
