Amaan Shahana has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.10, set at Tesseract Open 2019, puts him in the top 8.2% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 471st in India. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since February 2014, he has put 321 official solves on the record across six events.

His Pyraminx best has come down from 5.37 in February 2014 to 4.10, a 24% improvement. Amaan has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
