Samvit Kulathumani has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 5.13, set at Tacoma Fall 2026, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 32,817 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 387th in the United States. Until April 2015, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since September 2024, he has put 108 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 98% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.38 in September 2024 to 12.32, a 36% improvement. Samvit has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
