Sanjay Batta

3×3 · top 8.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2016 · 2016BATT07

Sanjay Batta has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.44, set at Classic City Summer 2017, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,815th in the United States. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since December 2016, he has put 89 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 67% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.16 in December 2016 to 10.44, a 26% improvement. Sanjay has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
