Srivatsa Potdar
3×3 · top 5.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017POTD01
Srivatsa Potdar has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.38, set at Hyderabad Cube Open 2019, puts him in the top 5.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 608th in India. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2017, he has put 132 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 96% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.33 in October 2017 to 9.38, a 39% improvement. Srivatsa has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
