Kotagiri Sai Aahish
3×3 · top 7.1% of 288,433 all-time · competing since May 2022 · 2022AAHI01
Kotagiri Sai Aahish has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.86, set at Varsha Ritu Cube Open 2022, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 777th in India. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since May 2022, he has put 88 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.29 in May 2022 to 9.86, a 13% improvement. Kotagiri has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
