Namit Kabra
Pyraminx · top 6.6% of 129,321 all-time · competing since January 2023 · 2023KABR01
Namit Kabra has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.77, set at Pune Summer Open 2025, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 377th in India. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since January 2023, he has put 277 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 91% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 11.05 in January 2023 to 3.77, a 66% improvement. Namit has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
