Saad Alnobani
3×3 · top 8.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2019 · 2019ALNO01
Saad Alnobani has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.48, set at Al-Madar Open 2025, puts him in the top 8.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 24th in Jordan. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since July 2019, he has put 196 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 74% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.02 in July 2019 to 10.48, a 35% improvement. Saad has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
