Muhtasim Al-Farabi has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.13, set at Vegas Cubing Cup Winter 2025, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5th in Bangladesh. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 78 competitions since December 2017, he has put 2,470 official solves on the record across 15 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 10.37 in December 2017 to 7.51, a 28% improvement. Muhtasim has entered 78 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
