Sathya Sairam

3×3 · top 17.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2014 · 2014SAIR01

Sathya Sairam has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 12.88, set at Indian Nationals 2015, puts him in the top 17.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,108th in India. Across 9 competitions since January 2014, he has put 120 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 39.99 in January 2014 to 12.88, a 68% improvement. Sathya has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
