Skanda Kodunad has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.06, set at Newmarket Open 2017, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 286th in Canada. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since August 2012, he has put 435 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 2×2 best has come down from 6.22 in September 2012 to 2.71, a 56% improvement. Skanda has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
