Rishabh Ranjan
3×3 · top 5.1% of 288,433 all-time · competing since March 2019 · 2019RANJ02
Rishabh Ranjan has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.08, set at Flag City Summer 2023, puts him in the top 5.1% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 536th in India. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since March 2019, he has put 198 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 58% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.04 in March 2019 to 9.08, a 61% improvement. Rishabh has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
