2×2 · top 6.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2017 · 2017DARA01

Amir Hossein Darabi (امیرحسین دارابی) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.25, set at Chekaad Summer 2018, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 48th in Iran. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since September 2017, he has put 84 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.81 in September 2017 to 10.68, a 23% improvement. Amir has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
