Dilan Anand

3×3 · top 8.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2018 · 2018ANAN04

Dilan Anand has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.46, set at Perth 10 Year Anniversary 2021, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 790th in Australia. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since April 2018, he has put 197 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 55% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.80 in April 2018 to 10.46, a 56% improvement. Dilan has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. 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.
