Ali Chehab
Pyraminx · top 7.9% of 130,891 all-time · competing since March 2018 · 2018CHEH01
Ali Chehab has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.04, set at Rapidly Grand 2023, puts him in the top 7.9% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,056th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since March 2018, he has put 203 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 75% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 36.47 in March 2018 to 26.82, a 26% improvement. Ali has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
