3×3 · top 5.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2018 · 2018NAVE02

Raghav Chandra Naveen has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.14, set at Bangalore Championship 2023, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 555th in India. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since February 2018, he has put 104 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.13 in February 2018 to 9.14, a 50% improvement. Raghav has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
