Nishad Girish Mandlik

Pyraminx · top 36.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since February 2017 · 2017MAND02

Nishad Girish Mandlik has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 8.04, set at IISERK Spring Open 2019, puts him in the top 36.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,317th in India. Across 3 competitions since February 2017, he has put 89 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 34.68 in February 2017 to 23.23, a 33% improvement. Nishad has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
