Ahmed Mohamed was an octochamp in Series 84. He was a Sports Steward (in between jobs) from North London. He is also a long-time Apterite, who was previously on Apterous under the pseudonym James Nguyen.
Mohamed made his debut on 29 September 2021, winning a score of 111 against 4-time winner Daaniyal Ali. Mohamed went on to run off with 7 more wins, all with scores above 100 including a top score of 138, although he survived a crucial conundrum against Co:Man2020 attendee Richard Williams in his 6th match. In three of his matches, he solved the conundrum in under a second. Along the way, he attained 927 points to place 1st in the seed table.
Clips of his eighth game featured on Celebrity Gogglebox on 15 October 2021.
Mohamed returned for the first quarter-final on 15 December against 5-game winner Janet Noe, where 3 nines helped him finish with a personal best of 143 points, although an unsolved and difficult conundrum denied him the chance to break Elliott Mellor's record of 152 points by just one point. Mohamed then played against Jeremy Slaney in the semi-final, picking out both available nine-letter words to eke out a commanding lead early on; although Slaney went on to beat him in two games during the third "half", Mohamed maintained his lead and finished by unravelling the conundrum COLICPITA to OCCIPITAL, scoring 118 points and booking a grand final berth.
Mohamed has since appeared on ZoomDown Series 4 after his heats were broadcast, but withdrew for personal reasons after winning one game with 117 points.
