Pyraminx · top 8.1% of 129,321 all-time · competing since January 2015 · 2015JAIN05
Ishaan Jain has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.08, set at Indian Nationals 2016, puts him in the top 8.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 463rd in India. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since January 2015, he has put 193 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 32.58 in February 2015 to 4.08, an 87% improvement. Ishaan 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.
