Janav Gupta has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.37, set at London Open 2019, puts him in the top 5.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 283rd in India. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since March 2018, he has put 162 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His Pyraminx best has come down from 11.41 in July 2018 to 3.37, a 70% improvement. Janav 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.
