Adarsh Shiva

3×3 · top 6.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023SHIV03

Adarsh Shiva has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.69, set at Bangalore Newcomers 2024, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 709th in India. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since July 2023, he has put 70 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.94 in July 2023 to 9.69, an 11% improvement. Adarsh has entered two competitions.

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.
