Bihan Thapa Magar has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.94, set at Nepali Nationals 2025, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6th in Nepal. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since November 2018, he has put 730 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 58% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His Pyraminx best has come down from 10.67 in November 2018 to 3.74, a 65% improvement. Bihan has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
