Aditya Arwind Gaikwad has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.68, set at Pavillion Cube Open 2023, puts him in the top 2.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 142nd in India. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since October 2022, he has put 56 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.12 in October 2022 to 11.03, a 16% improvement. Aditya has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
