Ahmed Khan has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.46, set at A New Year in Auckland 2025, puts him in the top 2.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 57th in New Zealand. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since December 2022, he has put 440 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 43.20 in December 2022 to 7.83, an 82% improvement. Ahmed has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
