Lakshay Sharma has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.26, set at Delhi Cubing Heat Wave 2018, puts him in the top 1.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 83rd in India. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 26 competitions since October 2015, he has put 1,152 official solves on the record across 13 events.

His 2×2 best has come down from 8.84 in October 2015 to 2.32, a 74% improvement. Lakshay has entered 26 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
