Karthik Guguloth has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.86, set at P3 Grand Open - Jan 2017, puts him in the top 7.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 398th in India. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since June 2014, he has put 159 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 19% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 16.80 in June 2014 to 3.86, a 77% improvement. Karthik has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
