Darshan Chidambaram has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 12.02, set at CubingUSA New Jersey Championship 2018, puts him in the top 66.1% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 12,341st in the United States. Across 8 competitions since May 2016, he has put 55 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs.

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.
