Lakshay Nahar has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 38.25, set at Agra Cube Open 2026, puts him in the top 6.4% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 19th in India. Until August 2009, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 25 competitions since August 2023, he has put 620 official solves on the record across 15 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 22.40 in August 2023 to 11.53, a 49% improvement. Lakshay has entered 25 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
