Advait Anand has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.79, set at Sunmarke Dubai Open 2018, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 154th in India. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since May 2016, he has put 350 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 72% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His Pyraminx best has come down from 5.17 in August 2016 to 2.79, a 46% improvement. Advait has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
