Tamen Dutta has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.88, set at IVWS Cube Open 2023, puts him in the top 24.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,170th in India. Across 12 competitions since November 2018, he has put 244 official solves on the record across nine events.

The story so far

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.
