3×3 · top 1.8% of 288,433 all-time · competing since April 2026 · 2026PANG03
Rupak Pangeni has been competing for 6 months. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.39, set at Canberra Spring Open 2026, puts him in the top 1.8% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 201st in Australia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since April 2026, he has put 158 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 69% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Rupak 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.
