Yousef Akram Halabi
3×3 · top 8.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2023 · 2023HALA02
Yousef Akram Halabi has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.25, set at Irbid Summer 2025, puts him in the top 8.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 22nd in Jordan. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since October 2023, he has put 115 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 82% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.52 in October 2023 to 10.25, a 29% improvement. Yousef has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
