3×3 · top 7.9% of 288,433 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022MOHA13
Kian Mohassel has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.12, set at CubingUSA Nationals 2023, puts him in the top 7.9% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,382nd in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since August 2022, he has put 83 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.00 in August 2022 to 10.12, a 58% improvement. Kian has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
