Sai Kintali
3×3 · top 7.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2023 · 2023KINT02
Sai Kintali has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.84, set at Slow N Steady UMD Fall 2024, puts him in the top 7.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 757th in India. Until October 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since September 2023, he has put 149 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one; 97% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.13 in September 2023 to 9.84, a 46% improvement. Sai has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
