Samarth Jaiswal
Pyraminx · top 1.8% of 129,321 all-time · competing since June 2022 · 2022JAIS02
Samarth Jaiswal has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.33, set at Mumbai Cube Challenge 2025, puts him in the top 1.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 94th in India. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 24 competitions since June 2022, he has put 1,069 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 53% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 16 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 31.82 in June 2022 to 9.12, a 71% improvement. Samarth has entered 24 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
