Ali Chegini (علی چگینی) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.65, set at Iran Open 2017, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 16th in Iran. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since April 2014, he has put 398 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 61% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.20 in April 2014 to 9.32, a 60% improvement. Ali has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
