Harivansh Shah
Pyraminx · top 8.2% of 129,321 all-time · competing since January 2023 · 2023SHAH05
Harivansh Shah has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.11, set at Newcastle Open 2023, puts him in the top 8.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 378th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since January 2023, he has put 132 official solves on the record across eight 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. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.96 in January 2023 to 15.63, a 22% improvement. Harivansh has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
