Satyam Panchal has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 13.15, set at Korum Cube Challenge 2023, puts him in the top 4.6% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 139th in India. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 20 competitions since October 2019, he has put 501 official solves on the record across eleven events.

His 3×3 one-handed best has come down from 38.53 in October 2019 to 13.15, a 66% improvement. Satyam has entered 20 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
