Vasudev Nair has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.20, set at Brisbane Summer 2025, puts him in the top 3.2% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 309th in Australia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 18 competitions since October 2022, he has put 245 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 69% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.97 in October 2022 to 8.20, a 68% improvement. Vasudev has entered 18 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
