Gautam Srinivas
Pyraminx · top 7.6% of 129,321 all-time · competing since March 2017 · 2017SRIN05
Gautam Srinivas has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.00, set at CMI Tessellate Cube Open 2020, puts him in the top 7.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 438th in India. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since March 2017, he has put 138 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 7.75 in May 2017 to 4.00, a 48% improvement. Gautam 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.
