Divye Kumar

3×3 · top 0.59% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2022 · 2022KUMA23

Divye Kumar has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.17, set at Gurugram Cube Open 2026, puts him in the top 0.59% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 53rd in India. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 19 competitions since July 2022, he has put 509 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 65% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 12 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.92 in July 2022 to 6.17, a 48% improvement. Divye has entered 19 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
