Benyamin Seddiqi (بنیامین صدیقی) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.95, set at Chekaad Summer 2019, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 22nd in Iran. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since December 2018, he has put 82 official solves on the record across five events.

Benyamin has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
