Vivaan Dahiya has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.45, set at Spark Melbourne Autumn Saturday 2026, puts him in the top 8.9% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,006th in India. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since July 2022, he has put 112 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 66% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 37.07 in July 2022 to 10.45, a 72% improvement. Vivaan has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
