Ammar Shahid

3×3 · top 2.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2017 · 2017SHAH31

Ammar Shahid has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.60, set at Cubing Returns Delhi 2022, puts him in the top 2.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 194th in India. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since November 2017, he has put 293 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 63% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.47 in November 2017 to 7.60, a 34% improvement. Ammar has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
