Asif Afsar has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 11.29, set at Savar Cube Open 2025, puts him in the top 2.2% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 7th in Bangladesh. Until August 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since July 2018, he has put 332 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 28.97 in July 2018 to 8.56, a 70% improvement. Asif has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
