Rahul Priyadarshan

3×3 · top 8.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2016 · 2016PRIY01

Rahul Priyadarshan has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.39, set at Carte Blanche Kube Open 2019, puts him in the top 8.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 977th in India. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since January 2016, he has put 69 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.65 in January 2016 to 10.39, a 34% improvement. Rahul has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
