Ganeshraj Aswani

3×3 · top 9.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2016 · 2016ASWA01

Ganeshraj Aswani has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.53, set at Washtenaw Fast 'n Late Fall 2023, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,952nd in the United States. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since March 2016, he has put 179 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 45.49 in March 2016 to 10.53, a 77% improvement. Ganeshraj has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
