Nithin Chalavadi has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.01, set at Anaadyanta Cube Open 2018, puts him in the top 7.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,966th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since October 2015, he has put 290 official solves on the record across five events.

His 2×2 best has come down from 4.42 in October 2015 to 2.38, a 46% improvement. Nithin has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
