Ali Mohammadpour Shojai (علی محمدپورشجاعی) has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.74, set at Turkish Open 2013, puts him in the top 9.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 134th in Iran. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since September 2011, he has put 176 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 12.91 in September 2011 to 10.74, a 17% improvement. Ali has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
