Krishna Kanakaraj

Pyraminx · top 27.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2012 · 2012KANA01

Krishna Kanakaraj has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 7.01, set at VIT Rubik's Challenge 2013, puts him in the top 27.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,706th in India. Across 8 competitions since October 2012, he has put 112 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 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:03.68 in October 2012 to 20.16, a 68% improvement. Krishna has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
