Ritwik Pattnaik has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.01, set at Avenues CUBELELO Open 2015, puts him in the top 4.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 357th in India. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since July 2014, he has put 1,049 official solves on the record across 14 events.

His Pyraminx best has come down from 11.85 in October 2014 to 4.29, a 64% improvement. Ritwik has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, Pyraminx. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
