3×3 · top 6.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2025 · 2025LARO02
Daksh Laroia has been competing for 10 months. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.47, set at Agra Cube Open 2026, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 638th in India. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2025, he has put 128 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.26 in October 2025 to 9.47, a 23% improvement. Daksh 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.
