Danial B. Ali Nurdin has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.26, set at Egypt Fall 2024, puts him in the top 1.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 70th in Malaysia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since November 2018, he has put 153 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 91% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.38 in November 2018 to 7.26, a 53% improvement. Danial has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
