Amod Mathur has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.96, set at Severna Park Summer 2017, puts him in the top 0.46% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 321st in the United States. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 55 competitions since April 2013, he has put 1,755 official solves on the record across nine events.

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.
