Pyraminx · top 8.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since November 2021 · 2021ALBL01
Ali Albloushi has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.17, set at Hala February Kuwait 2025, puts him in the top 8.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5th in Kuwait. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since November 2021, he has put 267 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 64% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 45.17 in November 2021 to 15.38, a 66% improvement. Ali 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.
