Pyraminx · top 3.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since May 2017 · 2017PATH03
Dhruv Rahul Pathak has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.09, set at BITS Pilani Cube Open 2025, puts him in the top 3.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 226th in India. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since May 2017, he has put 118 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 35.47 in May 2017 to 13.16, a 63% improvement. Dhruv has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
