3×3 · top 4.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2022 · 2022GANE01
Rian Ganesh has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.87, set at ALL1- Pittsburgh 2023, puts him in the top 4.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,536th in the United States. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since May 2022, he has put 270 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 62% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.49 in May 2022 to 8.87, a 68% improvement. Rian 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.
