Patel Anand Dineshbhai has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.95, set at Vadodara Winter Open 2023, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 799th in India. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since October 2019, he has put 73 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 81% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.90 in October 2019 to 9.95, a 60% improvement. Patel has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
