Harsh Purushottam Thorat has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.30, set at Saraswati Open 2020, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 266th in India. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since September 2018, he has put 181 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 85% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 45.07 in September 2018 to 20.62, a 54% improvement. Harsh has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
