Kush Jajal

3×3 · top 7.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2015 · 2015JAJA01

Kush Jajal has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.83, set at PDPU Open 2019, puts him in the top 7.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 753rd in India. Until October 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since August 2015, he has put 501 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 70% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.34 in August 2015 to 9.83, a 49% improvement. Kush has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
