Vansh Bansal
3×3 · top 1.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016BANS04
Vansh Bansal has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.19, set at Speedcubing ESYA 2019, puts him in the top 1.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 142nd in India. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since October 2016, he has put 297 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 68% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.66 in October 2016 to 7.19, a 72% improvement. Vansh has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
