Muhammad Syahmi has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.50, set at Kedah Cube Open 2023, puts him in the top 0.86% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 36th in Malaysia. Until May 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 69 competitions since December 2010, he has put 3,673 official solves on the record across 14 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.78 in December 2010 to 6.50, a 61% improvement. Muhammad has entered 69 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
