Tanmaay Jena has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.44, set at Pune Cube Fiesta 2023, puts him in the top 8.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 672nd in India. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since June 2022, he has put 223 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 19.47 in June 2022 to 13.84, a 29% improvement. Tanmaay has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
