Tanish Ekkaldevi

2×2 · top 5.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2022 · 2022EKKA01

Tanish Ekkaldevi has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.06, set at Speedcubing at Seaworks 2023, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 380th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since June 2022, he has put 120 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 7.85 in June 2022 to 2.06, a 74% improvement. Tanish has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
