Yash Virani
3×3 one-handed · top 2.3% of 73,695 all-time · competing since June 2015 · 2015VIRA03
Yash Virani has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 11.44, set at Oculus Cube Open 2024, puts him in the top 2.3% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 69th in India. Until August 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since June 2015, he has put 159 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 4×4 best has come down from 1:21.41 in June 2015 to 31.86, a 61% improvement. Yash has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
