Saharsh Kaparthi has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.81, set at DeKalb Cubing Fall 2023, puts him in the top 10.0% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,136th in India. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since July 2022, he has put 157 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 53% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.96 in July 2022 to 10.81, a 23% improvement. Saharsh 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.
