Gagan Prasad has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.89, set at Indian Cube Challenge 2017, puts him in the top 3.3% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 184th in India. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since February 2014, he has put 390 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 87% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.93 in February 2014 to 11.38, a 40% improvement. Gagan 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.
