Yousef Khanfar
3×3 · top 8.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022KHAN41
Yousef Khanfar has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.24, set at JCC & Q8speedcubing Nationals 2024, puts him in the top 8.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 21st in Jordan. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since August 2022, he has put 156 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 64% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.94 in August 2022 to 10.24, a 31% improvement. Yousef 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.
