3×3 · top 5.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2024 · 2024ELDI01
Mostafa Mostafa Eldiwany has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.07, set at Alexandria Open 2025, puts him in the top 5.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 15th in Egypt. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since November 2024, he has put 113 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.24 in November 2024 to 9.07, an 11% improvement. Mostafa has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
