Aditya Maddulapalli
3×3 · top 9.6% of 288,433 all-time · competing since August 2023 · 2023MADD04
Aditya Maddulapalli has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.69, set at M5 Open A Bengaluru 2025, puts him in the top 9.6% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,096th in India. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since August 2023, he has put 100 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.07 in August 2023 to 10.69, an 11% improvement. Aditya has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
