Dalvi Shamika Shailesh has been competing for 11 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 14.54, set at Korum Cube Challenge 2023, puts her in the top 22.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,947th in India. Across 13 competitions since December 2015, she has put 69 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 19% around a typical one; 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside her 5 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 1:14.65 in September 2016 to 14.54, an 81% improvement. Dalvi has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
