Vishwanath Jeyaraman
3×3 blindfolded · top 1.8% of 12,178 all-time · competing since August 2016 · 2016JEYA01
Vishwanath Jeyaraman has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 21.49, set at Christmastime in Cambridge 2024, puts him in the top 1.8% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4th in India. Until November 2014, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 37 competitions since August 2016, he has put 279 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 87% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.20 in August 2016 to 10.19, a 44% improvement. Vishwanath has entered 37 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.
