Samarth Kunwar
3×3 · top 4.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2022 · 2022KUNW01
Samarth Kunwar has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.98, set at Radiant Summer Cubing Nepal 2026, puts him in the top 4.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 14th in Nepal. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since June 2022, he has put 67 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.77 in June 2022 to 8.98, a 39% improvement. Samarth has entered two 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.
