Mohammad Hossein Meftah (محمد حسین مفتاح) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.50, set at Alborz Green Cup 2019, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 119th in Iran. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since September 2017, he has put 134 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.49 in September 2017 to 10.50, a 43% improvement. Mohammad has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
