Zainab Alaradi has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.88, set at Kuwaiti Nationals 2024, puts her in the top 25.0% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10th in Bahrain. Across 12 competitions since July 2022, she has put 385 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 97% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside her 5 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 37.69 in July 2022 to 17.08, a 55% improvement. Zainab has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
