3×3 · top 7.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2012 · 2012MAHM02

Makan Mahmudi (ماکان محمودی) has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.88, set at CubeComp I Iran 2014, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 94th in Iran. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since October 2012, he has put 70 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.50 in October 2012 to 9.88, a 40% improvement. Makan has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
