3×3 · top 9.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2014 · 2014KAKA01
Manas Kakade has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.75, set at SCMU 2016, puts him in the top 9.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,103rd in India. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since July 2014, he has put 147 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 97% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.11 in July 2014 to 10.75, a 33% improvement. Manas has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
