Khalid Alsuwaidi

3×3 · top 8.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017ALSU01

Khalid Alsuwaidi has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.29, set at GEMS Modern Academy Open 2018, puts him in the top 8.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2nd in the United Arab Emirates. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2017, he has put 145 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 21% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.58 in October 2017 to 10.29, a 63% improvement. Khalid has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
