Pyraminx · top 24.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since May 2023 · 2023MOOD04
Vidya Moodley has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 6.58, set at Durban Winter 2024, puts her in the top 24.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 189th in South Africa. Across 6 competitions since May 2023, she has put 167 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 52% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside her 3 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 35.68 in May 2023 to 21.27, a 40% improvement. Vidya has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
