Ahaan Bansal has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 12.91, set at Gurugram Autumn Cube Open 2024, puts him in the top 4.3% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 127th in India. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since August 2023, he has put 158 official solves on the record across six events.

Ahaan has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
