3×3 · top 4.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2023 · 2023SASV01
Namesh Sasvidu has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.02, set at Biyagama Cubing Blitz 2025, puts him in the top 4.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 14th in Sri Lanka. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since December 2023, he has put 159 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 21% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.50 in December 2023 to 9.02, a 22% improvement. Namesh has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
