Raghav Arora
3×3 · top 7.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2015 · 2015AROR04
Raghav Arora has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.93, set at MathSoc Open 2018, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 794th in India. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since February 2015, he has put 92 official solves on the record across five 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 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.39 in February 2015 to 9.93, a 31% improvement. Raghav has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
