Anand Nandin

3×3 · top 3.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022NAND06

Anand Nandin has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.29, set at Ulaanbaatar Cubing Challenge Apr 2024, puts him in the top 3.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 50th in Mongolia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2022, he has put 134 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.63 in October 2022 to 8.29, a 29% improvement. Anand has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
