Ilia Rashidi (ایلیا رشیدی) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.08, set at Mashhad Winter 2024, puts him in the top 1.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8th in Iran. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 21 competitions since April 2016, he has put 781 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 62% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.07 in April 2016 to 7.42, a 69% improvement. Ilia has entered 21 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
