Naman Kashyap

3×3 · top 9.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2017 · 2017KASH04

Naman Kashyap has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.56, set at Anaadyanta Cube Open 2017, puts him in the top 9.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,028th in India. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since March 2017, he has put 61 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. Naman has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
