Yuvan Sai Manchem has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.49, set at South India Cube Championship 2025, puts him in the top 2.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 114th in India. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since August 2023, he has put 187 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 52% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His Pyraminx best has come down from 6.79 in August 2023 to 2.49, a 63% improvement. Yuvan has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
