Chetan Popli has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.19, set at SCMU Freedom Open 2015, puts him in the top 8.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 498th in India. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since July 2014, he has put 117 official solves on the record across five events.

Chetan 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.
