Rahul Bhateja has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.56, set at Cube Challenge Quark 2018, puts him in the top 9.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,028th in India. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since November 2015, he has put 87 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 68% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.60 in November 2015 to 10.56, a 36% improvement. Rahul has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
