Nur Syafiq Putra has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.13, set at Malaysia Cube Open 2017, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 261st in Malaysia. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since February 2017, he has put 48 official solves on the record across three events. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.67 in February 2017 to 9.13, a 33% improvement. Nur has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

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.
