Krishna Gupta
Skewb · top 8.8% of 73,281 all-time · competing since August 2017 · 2017GUPT26
Krishna Gupta has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.67, set at Pune Cube Fiesta 2023, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 224th in India. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since August 2017, he has put 208 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 19% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 13.65 in August 2017 to 6.27, a 54% improvement. Krishna has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
