Vihan Patil has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.33, set at Manchester Spring 2024, puts him in the top 9.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 364th in the United Kingdom. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since December 2022, he has put 500 official solves on the record across nine events.

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.
