3×3 · top 1.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2015 · 2015NAMB01

Adwaith Nambiar has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.36, set at Cubing Kerala Malabar Open 2023, puts him in the top 1.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 160th in India. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since December 2015, he has put 434 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 76% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.94 in December 2015 to 7.36, a 38% improvement. Adwaith has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
