Ali Mozafari (علی مظفری)

2×2 · top 6.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2017 · 2017MOZA01

Ali Mozafari (علی مظفری) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.18, set at Chekaad Summer 2019, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 42nd in Iran. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since August 2017, he has put 210 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 20% around a typical one; 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 32.63 in August 2017 to 12.87, a 61% improvement. Ali has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
