Asher Kumar has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.36, set at Foothills NxNs 2023, puts him in the top 1.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 181st in Canada. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since December 2021, he has put 163 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 10.98 in December 2021 to 7.36, a 33% improvement. Asher 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.
