Eman Shahadi

3×3 · top 9.9% of 288,433 all-time · competing since November 2009 · 2009SHAH06

Eman Shahadi has been competing for 17 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.78, set at World Rubik's Cube Championship 2011, puts him in the top 9.9% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 516th in Malaysia. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since November 2009, he has put 248 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 68% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.77 in November 2009 to 10.78, a 27% improvement. Eman has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
