Dakshin Vinod
Pyraminx · top 0.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017VINO03
Dakshin Vinod has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.85, set at mcubes Open 2019, puts him in the top 0.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 37th in India. Until April 2012, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since October 2017, he has put 348 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one; 97% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 36.45 in October 2017 to 8.47, a 77% improvement. Dakshin has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
