Jameel Nawaz

2×2 · top 7.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2015 · 2015NAWA02

Jameel Nawaz has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.32, set at Brain Studio Winter Open 2015, puts him in the top 7.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 560th in India. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since October 2015, he has put 95 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 59.76 in October 2015 to 17.50, a 71% improvement. Jameel has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
