Vishnu Rajasekhar
3×3 · top 7.5% of 288,433 all-time · competing since July 2018 · 2018RAJA14
Vishnu Rajasekhar has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.99, set at Mudd Fall 2019, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 837th in India. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since July 2018, he has put 119 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.20 in July 2018 to 9.99, a 38% improvement. Vishnu has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
