Neel Roy Chowdhury has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.44, set at Swisscubing Cup V 2024, puts him in the top 5.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 76th in Switzerland. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since March 2022, he has put 256 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.02 in March 2022 to 9.44, a 41% improvement. Neel has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
