Husain Khuraibet
3×3 · top 9.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2018 · 2018KHUR04
Husain Khuraibet has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.66, set at Irbid Winter 2026, puts him in the top 9.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10th in Kuwait. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since June 2018, he has put 237 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.97 in June 2018 to 10.66, a 41% improvement. Husain has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
