3×3 · top 1.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2014 · 2014SING04
Anshuman Singh has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.23, set at Mysore Cube Open 2025, puts him in the top 1.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 146th in India. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 18 competitions since February 2014, he has put 256 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.04 in February 2014 to 7.23, a 62% improvement. Anshuman has entered 18 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
