Udit Neelakantam has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.33, set at Waterloo Spring 2026, puts him in the top 8.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 779th in Canada. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since August 2024, he has put 140 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 59% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.55 in August 2024 to 10.33, a 58% improvement. Udit has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
