Faisal Aziz Mehboob has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 31.36, set at CubeX Summer Open Bangalore 2025, puts him in the top 0.32% of the 34,786 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4th in India. Until June 2017, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since March 2017, he has put 646 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 55% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.43 in March 2017 to 5.98, a 59% improvement. Faisal has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
