Sahand Pourjavad (سهند پورجواد)
3×3 · top 9.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2024 · 2024POUR02
Sahand Pourjavad (سهند پورجواد) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.78, set at UCLA Spring 2025, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 137th in Iran. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since February 2024, he has put 84 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 52% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.38 in February 2024 to 10.78, a 50% improvement. Sahand has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
