Majid Alizadeh (مجید علیزاده)
2×2 · top 5.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2013 · 2013ALIZ01
Majid Alizadeh (مجید علیزاده) has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.06, set at IranPuzzle Cube Challenge 2015, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 29th in Iran. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since September 2013, he has put 155 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 one-handed best has come down from 20.15 in September 2013 to 14.41, a 28% improvement. Majid has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
