Ishaan Bansal

3×3 · top 19.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2014 · 2014BANS02

Ishaan Bansal has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 13.46, set at BCM Arya Cubing Challenge 2018, puts him in the top 19.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,391st in India. Across 3 competitions since May 2014, he has put 40 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.24 in May 2014 to 13.46, a 37% improvement. Ishaan has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
