Sham Saleem has been competing for a year. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 7.86, set at Palestine Summer 2025, puts her in the top 35.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 24th in Palestine. Across 6 competitions since April 2025, she has put 91 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 3 DNFs.

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.
