Garv Kumar has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.12, set at Harrow Autumn 2023, puts him in the top 5.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,293rd in the United Kingdom. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2023, he has put 91 official solves on the record across five events.

Garv has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
