Skewb · top 5.9% of 73,281 all-time · competing since January 2015 · 2015BANS01
Raghav Bansal has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.18, set at Chandigarh Open 2019, puts him in the top 5.9% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 147th in India. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since January 2015, he has put 210 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 62% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:05.12 in January 2015 to 14.46, a 78% improvement. Raghav has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
