3×3 · top 1.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2018 · 2018PATE06
Moksh Patel has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.04, set at Surat Cubing Sprint 2023, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 120th in India. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since May 2018, he has put 376 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 70% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 9 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.74 in May 2018 to 7.04, a 60% improvement. Moksh has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
