Pratik Lende
3×3 · top 6.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2023 · 2023LEND01
Pratik Lende has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.65, set at GA Cuber Jackets Fall 2025, puts him in the top 6.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,585th in the United States. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since May 2023, he has put 136 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. Pratik 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.
