Pyraminx · top 1.6% of 129,321 all-time · competing since September 2017 · 2017PATE29

Chetan Kumar Patel has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.24, set at Raipur June Cube Challenge 2018, puts him in the top 1.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 80th in India. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since September 2017, he has put 430 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 73% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.39 in September 2017 to 9.63, a 33% improvement. Chetan has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
