Kaushik Prabhu has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.83, set at P3 Grand Open - Jan 2017, puts him in the top 10.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,130th in India. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2013, he has put 147 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 85% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.36 in October 2013 to 10.83, a 47% improvement. Kaushik has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
