Raghav Vishwanath has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.47, set at Rubik's WCA World Championship 2025, puts him in the top 1.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 175th in India. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 35 competitions since October 2019, he has put 1,842 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 81% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 4×4 best has come down from 40.71 in June 2022 to 34.05, a 16% improvement. Raghav has entered 35 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
