Abhishek Mohanta

3×3 · top 8.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2015 · 2015MOHA09

Abhishek Mohanta has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.34, set at Speedcubing ESYA 2017, puts him in the top 8.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 958th in India. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since June 2015, he has put 143 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 65% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.25 in June 2015 to 10.34, a 27% improvement. Abhishek has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
