Amir Salomon has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.33, set at Marikina City Open II 2019, puts him in the top 1.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 34th in the Philippines. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2016, he has put 151 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 13.60 in October 2016 to 9.58, a 30% improvement. Amir has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
