Faheem Arif
2×2 · top 1.7% of 189,179 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017ARIF04
Faheem Arif has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.39, set at Nipomo Spring 2018, puts him in the top 1.7% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 125th in India. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since October 2017, he has put 372 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 91% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.73 in October 2017 to 9.19, a 61% improvement. Faheem has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
