P Praneeth has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 0.95, set at VIT Cube Open 2024, puts him in the top 0.47% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 25th in India. Until November 2011, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since April 2022, he has put 207 official solves on the record across nine events.

His Pyraminx best has come down from 5.52 in April 2022 to 4.24, a 23% improvement. P has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
