Anirudh Keshav Pravin

3×3 · top 6.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2020 · 2020PRAV01

Anirudh Keshav Pravin has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.45, set at Rockfort City Cubing Challenge 2026, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,310th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since January 2020, he has put 124 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 33.57 in January 2020 to 9.45, a 72% improvement. Anirudh 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.
