Hadi Arshad Shaikh has been competing for 7 years.

Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since August 2019, he has put 134 official solves on the record across four events.

Hadi has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
