Garv Soni has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.31, set at SNU Open 2018, puts him in the top 1.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 91st in India. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 21 competitions since March 2016, he has put 465 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 88% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His Pyraminx best has come down from 11.45 in January 2017 to 2.31, an 80% improvement. Garv has entered 21 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
