Ashaaz Ahmed Shaik has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.49, set at DFW Cubing Winter 2026, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,460th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since October 2023, he has put 129 official solves on the record across three events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 50.13 in October 2023 to 20.58, a 59% improvement. Ashaaz has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
