Pyraminx · top 0.24% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2018 · 2018SHAR43
Ritvik Sharma has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.33, set at Gurugram Cube Open 2023, puts him in the top 0.24% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 11th in India. Until October 2015, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since October 2018, he has put 297 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 98% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.33 in October 2018 to 9.03, a 58% improvement. Ritvik has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
