Madhava Rajan has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.52, set at CMI Autumn Open 2018, puts him in the top 5.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 319th in India. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since March 2018, he has put 159 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 21.06 in March 2018 to 10.43, a 50% improvement. Madhava has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
