Ashwin Narendran

3×3 · top 0.59% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2022 · 2022NARE01

Ashwin Narendran has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.16, set at Tamil Nadu Cube Challenge 2024, puts him in the top 0.59% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 52nd in India. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since March 2022, he has put 174 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 55% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 7.00 in March 2022 to 6.16, a 12% improvement. Ashwin has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
