Santosh Naranapatty has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.69, set at SRM Cube Open 2018, puts him in the top 1.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 94th in India. Until January 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 22 competitions since March 2013, he has put 702 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 57% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 31.25 in March 2013 to 6.69, a 79% improvement. Santosh has entered 22 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
