3×3 · top 2.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2024 · 2024SAQI01
Malik Hassan Saqib has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.55, set at Rubik's WCA Asian Championship 2024, puts him in the top 2.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6th in Pakistan. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since May 2024, he has put 35 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 8.42 in May 2024 to 7.55, a 10% improvement. Malik has entered two competitions.

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.
