Albara Mahmoad Shanna'a has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.19, set at Jordan Nationals 2023, puts him in the top 4.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4th in Jordan. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since August 2022, he has put 150 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.58 in August 2022 to 9.86, a 44% improvement. Albara has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
