Joshua Koilpillai has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.07, set at NIT Trichy Open 2017, puts him in the top 1.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 347th in the United States. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since January 2013, he has put 587 official solves on the record across nine events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 23.77 in January 2013 to 10.36, a 56% improvement. Joshua has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
