Aamina Lakha has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.70, set at Kendeda Kubing A 2023, puts her in the top 9.6% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,301st in the United States. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since May 2022, she has put 192 official solves on the record across seven events.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 19.17 in May 2022 to 10.70, a 44% improvement. Aamina 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.
