Samarth Mallavaram
Pyraminx · top 9.4% of 129,321 all-time · competing since June 2025 · 2025MALL06
Samarth Mallavaram has been competing for a year. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.34, set at San Antonio Fall 2025, puts him in the top 9.4% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,431st in the United States. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2025, he has put 118 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 7.46 in June 2025 to 4.38, a 41% improvement. Samarth has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
