Pyraminx · top 2.0% of 130,891 all-time · competing since December 2021 · 2021PATE09
Rudra Patel has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.43, set at Gem City Ohio Showdown 2025, puts him in the top 2.0% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 542nd in the United States. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since December 2021, he has put 371 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 55% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.03 in December 2021 to 8.76, a 58% improvement. Rudra has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
