Rahul Sahay
3×3 · top 2.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2017 · 2017SAHA05
Rahul Sahay has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.70, set at Noida Cube Open 2022, puts him in the top 2.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 218th in India. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since June 2017, he has put 112 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 81% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.62 in June 2017 to 7.70, a 69% improvement. Rahul has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
