Ken Ghosh
Pyraminx · top 2.6% of 129,321 all-time · competing since February 2015 · 2015GHOS03
Ken Ghosh has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.64, set at Indian Nationals 2017, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 132nd in India. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since February 2015, he has put 271 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 37.27 in February 2015 to 2.64, a 93% improvement. Ken 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.
