Nirmalya Nandi
Pyraminx · top 6.0% of 130,891 all-time · competing since November 2022 · 2022NAND08
Nirmalya Nandi has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.63, set at Howrah Cube Open 2023, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 343rd in India. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since November 2022, he has put 79 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. Nirmalya has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
