Samihan Rajurkar
3×3 one-handed · top 2.0% of 73,695 all-time · competing since May 2023 · 2023RAJU02
Samihan Rajurkar has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 11.14, set at IISER Pune Autumn Open 2024, puts him in the top 2.0% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 55th in India. Until July 2011, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since May 2023, he has put 202 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 83% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.21 in May 2023 to 9.01, a 26% improvement. Samihan 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.
