Pyraminx · top 4.9% of 130,891 all-time · competing since February 2014 · 2014YADA01
Jai Yadav has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.36, set at SCMU Freedom Open 2015, puts him in the top 4.9% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 282nd in India. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since February 2014, he has put 406 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 69% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 36.04 in February 2014 to 15.45, a 57% improvement. Jai has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
