Pyraminx · top 6.0% of 129,321 all-time · competing since May 2015 · 2015SHAR13
Ankit Sharma has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.62, set at IIA Summer Open - May 2017, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 340th in India. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since May 2015, he has put 440 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.33 in May 2015 to 11.49, a 46% improvement. Ankit has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
