Parth Goel

3×3 · top 10.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2014 · 2014GOEL03

Parth Goel has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 11.05, set at Indian Nationals 2016, puts him in the top 10.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,220th in India. Across 11 competitions since October 2014, he has put 294 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.31 in October 2014 to 11.05, a 60% improvement. Parth has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
