Pranav Bejoy Satheesh has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.88, set at Cubing Kerala Adaar Open 2018, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 772nd in India. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since December 2016, he has put 179 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 21.74 in December 2016 to 9.88, a 55% improvement. Pranav has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
