Burhanuddin Kanchwala has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.50, set at Only 3x3s in Hyderabad 2025, puts him in the top 3.8% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 380th in India. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since March 2024, he has put 103 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 25.38 in March 2024 to 8.50, a 67% improvement. Burhanuddin has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
