Kim Burns has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 15.36, set at Bolton Spring 2025, puts her in the top 49.4% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 650th in the United Kingdom. Across 11 competitions since February 2023, she has put 87 official solves on the record across four events.

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.
