Bimal Mahara has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.38, set at Nepali Nationals 2019, puts him in the top 7.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 15th in Nepal. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since June 2018, he has put 364 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 23.05 in June 2018 to 14.88, a 35% improvement. Bimal has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
