Atharva Ravindra Palande has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.23, set at Korum Cube Challenge 2023, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 512th in India. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since January 2020, he has put 111 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.20 in January 2020 to 11.22, a 52% improvement. Atharva has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
