Amir Reza Motallebi (امیر رضا مطلبی) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.39, set at Kite Autumn 2019, puts him in the top 8.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 115th in Iran. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since February 2017, he has put 286 official solves on the record across six events.

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.
