3×3 · top 2.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2016 · 2016SAWA01
Hrishikesh Sawant has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.05, set at Phoenix Marketcity Cube Challenge 2019, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 266th in India. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since November 2016, he has put 137 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 15.51 in November 2016 to 8.05, a 48% improvement. Hrishikesh has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
