Yathansh Tewatia

2×2 · top 1.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since January 2015 · 2015TEWA01

Yathansh Tewatia has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.24, set at Shri Ram Cubing Challenge 2016, puts him in the top 1.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 80th in India. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since January 2015, he has put 278 official solves on the record across seven 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 2×2 best has come down from 7.29 in January 2015 to 1.24, an 83% improvement. Yathansh has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
