Mehdi Ibrahim has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.13, set at Potomac Speedcubing 2020, puts him in the top 7.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,321st in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since July 2018, he has put 259 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 65% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.67 in July 2018 to 10.13, a 46% improvement. Mehdi has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
