Pradeep John

3×3 · top 17.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2010 · 2010JOHN03

Pradeep John has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 13.11, set at Chennai Mathematical Institute Open 2012, puts him in the top 17.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,219th in India. Across 5 competitions since October 2010, he has put 54 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 28.44 in October 2010 to 13.11, a 54% improvement. Pradeep has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
