Nurzhanbek Zinulla (Нуржанбек Зинулла) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.53, set at Aktobe Cube Days 2018, puts him in the top 7.9% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 37th in Kazakhstan. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since March 2018, he has put 128 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.46 in March 2018 to 14.24, a 30% improvement. Nurzhanbek has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
