Sulaiman Elias has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.01, set at Beaconhouse Malaysia Cube Open 2022, puts him in the top 4.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 244th in Malaysia. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since December 2015, he has put 379 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 83% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.07 in December 2015 to 9.01, a 50% improvement. Sulaiman has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
