Daniel Adel Alhayki has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.48, set at Aarhus Fall 2025, puts him in the top 0.39% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1st in Bahrain. Until March 2013, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since December 2018, he has put 599 official solves on the record across 14 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 15.94 in December 2018 to 7.15, a 55% improvement. Daniel has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
