3×3 · top 22.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2016 · 2016TALU01
Rahul Talukdar has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 14.30, set at 6th Guwahati Open 2024, puts him in the top 22.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,828th in India. Across 14 competitions since May 2016, he has put 154 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 80% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 28.72 in May 2016 to 14.30, a 50% improvement. Rahul has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
