Soham Kumar has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.44, set at Stevenage October 2025, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 165th in the United Kingdom. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since March 2024, he has put 287 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.81 in March 2024 to 10.53, an 18% improvement. Soham 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.
