Srihari Siva has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.72, set at Salem Summer Open 2024, puts him in the top 3.7% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 78th in India. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since September 2016, he has put 448 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 75% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His Pyraminx best has come down from 14.57 in September 2016 to 3.44, a 76% improvement. Srihari 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.
