Farbod Khaeiz

3×3 · top 5.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2016 · 2016KHAE01

Farbod Khaeiz has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.19, set at Melbourne Cube Days 2016, puts him in the top 5.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 495th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2016, he has put 130 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 91% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.19 in March 2016 to 9.19, a 60% improvement. Farbod has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
