Yaswant Narayan

2×2 · top 24.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2014 · 2014NARA06

Yaswant Narayan has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.81, set at VIT Rubik's Cube Challenge 2016, puts him in the top 24.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,099th in India. Across 4 competitions since September 2014, he has put 55 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.97 in September 2014 to 21.03, a 12% improvement. Yaswant has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
