Adhiraj Singh

3×3 one-handed · top 3.2% of 73,695 all-time · competing since January 2016 · 2016SING01

Adhiraj Singh has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 12.13, set at Side Events Bangalore Oct 2023, puts him in the top 3.2% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 94th in India. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since January 2016, he has put 236 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 59% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 4×4 best has come down from 1:26.96 in June 2017 to 34.28, a 61% improvement. Adhiraj has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
