Vishesh Soni

3×3 · top 20.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2013 · 2013SONI01

Vishesh Soni has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 13.72, set at Shaastra Cube Open 2015, puts him in the top 20.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,517th in India. Across 7 competitions since October 2013, he has put 132 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 78% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:18.83 in October 2013 to 13.72, an 83% improvement. Vishesh has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
