Vijay Narayanan has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.36, set at Singapore Small and Sides Feb 2025, puts him in the top 0.28% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10th in Singapore. Until March 2013, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 39 competitions since June 2024, he has put 851 official solves on the record across eleven events.

His Pyraminx best has come down from 8.15 in June 2024 to 1.36, an 83% improvement. Vijay has entered 39 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
