Santhosh Sabarinathan

Pyraminx · top 9.1% of 129,321 all-time · competing since September 2018 · 2018SABA02

Santhosh Sabarinathan has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.29, set at VIT Cube Open 2024, puts him in the top 9.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 525th in India. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 29 competitions since September 2018, he has put 525 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 96% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 17.49 in September 2018 to 4.29, a 75% improvement. Santhosh has entered 29 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
