Daivik Padmanabhan has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.67, set at Speed Cubing Mumbai Unlimited 2015, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 212th in India. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since December 2013, he has put 325 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 80% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.47 in December 2013 to 10.25, a 63% improvement. Daivik has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
