Karthik Srinivasan

3×3 · top 18.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2013 · 2013SRIN01

Karthik Srinivasan has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 13.25, set at Shaastra Cube Open 2016, puts him in the top 18.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,291st in India. Across 10 competitions since January 2013, he has put 160 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 92% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:06.33 in January 2013 to 13.25, an 80% improvement. Karthik has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
