Azad Azhar Hamzeh has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.21, set at Ottawa Spring 2024, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,147th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since May 2023, he has put 219 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.73 in May 2023 to 10.73, a 32% improvement. Azad has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
