Ramesh Vidyasagar has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.94, set at Melbourne Cube Days 2018, puts him in the top 2.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 261st in Australia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 23 competitions since November 2013, he has put 1,235 official solves on the record across twelve events.

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.
