Vishantak Srikrishna has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.46, set at Ridge Cubing 2019, puts him in the top 0.82% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 521st in the United States. Until May 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 36 competitions since August 2014, he has put 1,106 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 14.91 in August 2014 to 6.46, a 57% improvement. Vishantak has entered 36 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
