Bhanu Savan Kodam has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.94, set at Indian Cube Challenge 2013, puts him in the top 3.4% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 194th in India. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since October 2011, he has put 596 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 68% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.66 in October 2011 to 11.15, a 60% improvement. Bhanu has entered twelve 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.
