Ammar Haider

3×3 · top 6.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2012 · 2012HAID01

Ammar Haider has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.68, set at Delhi Summer Showdown 2026, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 702nd in India. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since March 2012, he has put 754 official solves on the record across 15 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 84% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.32 in March 2012 to 9.68, a 37% improvement. Ammar has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
