Sahil Ahmed

3×3 one-handed · top 7.4% of 73,695 all-time · competing since June 2017 · 2017AHME09

Sahil Ahmed has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 14.66, set at Dhaka Summer Open B 2024, puts him in the top 7.4% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 238th in India. Until August 2008, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since June 2017, he has put 260 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 62% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.38 in June 2017 to 10.16, a 29% improvement. Sahil has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
