Danesh Moghadaszadeh

2×2 · top 4.2% of 189,179 all-time · competing since March 2024 · 2024MOGH02

Danesh Moghadaszadeh has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.91, set at Rubik's WCA World Championship 2025, puts him in the top 4.2% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,692nd in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 21 competitions since March 2024, he has put 436 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 83% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 9 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.96 in March 2024 to 8.90, a 50% improvement. Danesh has entered 21 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
