Nishant Ganesapandian Vishnupriya
3×3 · top 9.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2019 · 2019VISH02
Nishant Ganesapandian Vishnupriya has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.81, set at American School of Bahrain A 2024, puts him in the top 9.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,121st in India. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since March 2019, he has put 108 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 46.08 in March 2019 to 10.81, a 77% improvement. Nishant has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
