3×3 · top 6.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2016 · 2016DHOW01

Harish Dhowlaghar has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.61, set at Telangana Cube Championship 2024, puts him in the top 6.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 677th in India. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since December 2016, he has put 57 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 30.08 in December 2016 to 9.61, a 68% improvement. Harish has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
