Vishnu Srivatsava (విష్ణు శ్రీవాత్సవ) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.24, set at Korum Winter Cube Challenge 2025, puts him in the top 1.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 149th in India. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since August 2018, he has put 421 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 14.43 in August 2018 to 7.24, a 50% improvement. Vishnu has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
