Bhavya Goyal has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.87, set at Korum Cube Challenge 2023, puts him in the top 0.41% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 31st in India. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 27 competitions since December 2016, he has put 1,381 official solves on the record across twelve events.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
