Anurag Jain
3×3 · top 7.4% of 288,433 all-time · competing since January 2015 · 2015JAIN03
Anurag Jain has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.96, set at Nexus Winter Open 2022, puts him in the top 7.4% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 820th in India. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since January 2015, he has put 170 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.88 in January 2015 to 9.96, a 60% improvement. Anurag has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
