Josh Pradhan has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 21.34, set at Puzzling Parramatta 2026, puts him in the top 1.8% of the 12,334 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 14th in Australia. Until November 2014, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since April 2024, he has put 136 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 87% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.37 in April 2024 to 9.73, a 14% improvement. Josh has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
