3×3 · top 3.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2019 · 2019KASH01
Aman Kumar has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.48, set at IISER Mohali Cube Open 2022, puts him in the top 3.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 360th in India. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since January 2019, he has put 139 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 50% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.79 in January 2019 to 8.48, a 55% improvement. Aman 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.
