Arjun Dhiren Pradhan

3×3 · top 5.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2018 · 2018PRAD06

Arjun Dhiren Pradhan has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.13, set at Korum Cube Challenge 2024, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 552nd in India. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since July 2018, he has put 211 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 64% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.13 in July 2018 to 2.32, a 55% improvement. Arjun has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 2×2. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
