Harinandan Rajeev Padmasree has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.17, set at Cubing Kerala Adaar Open 2018, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 893rd in India. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since July 2017, he has put 239 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.40 in July 2017 to 10.17, a 34% improvement. Harinandan has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
