Neil Mansukhani has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.45, set at New Braunfels Tube & Twist 2026, puts him in the top 8.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,319th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since December 2023, he has put 87 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 52.22 in December 2023 to 28.82, a 45% improvement. Neil has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
