3×3 · top 6.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2019 · 2019ABUA02
Mohammed A. Abualsaud has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.69, set at Illini Cubers Spring 2026, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6th in Saudi Arabia. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since September 2019, he has put 107 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 81% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.98 in September 2019 to 9.69, a 39% improvement. Mohammed has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
