Bipul Mahat
3×3 one-handed · top 4.4% of 73,695 all-time · competing since March 2016 · 2016MAHA02
Bipul Mahat has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 12.97, set at GhanaTantra 2018, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5th in Nepal. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since March 2016, he has put 114 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 29.98 in March 2016 to 10.93, a 64% improvement. Bipul has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
