Rivan Maranganti has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.09, set at Corpus Christi Summer 2025, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,718th in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since December 2023, he has put 100 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 12.44 in December 2023 to 8.09, a 35% improvement. Rivan has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
