Achintya Kabra
Pyraminx · top 6.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022KABR01
Achintya Kabra has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.75, set at Tamil Nadu Cube Challenge 2024, puts him in the top 6.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 370th in India. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since August 2022, he has put 96 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 10.78 in October 2022 to 3.75, a 65% improvement. Achintya has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
