3×3 · top 9.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2010 · 2010SHAH07
Hammaad Shah has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.51, set at Johns Hopkins Winter 2015, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,922nd in the United States. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since December 2010, he has put 104 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 65% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.58 in December 2010 to 10.51, a 49% improvement. Hammaad 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.
