Pratap Bhanu Solanki has been competing for 17 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 30.39, set at Cat and Mouse 2017, puts him in the top 63.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10,027th in India. Across 10 competitions since February 2010, he has put 37 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs.

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.
