Mohammad Valavi (محمد ولوی)
3×3 · top 7.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2014 · 2014VALA01
Mohammad Valavi (محمد ولوی) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.90, set at Chekaad Summer 2018, puts him in the top 7.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 95th in Iran. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since August 2014, he has put 79 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.68 in August 2014 to 9.90, a 15% improvement. Mohammad 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.
