Please Be Quiet Dhaka 2025

A blistering single of 8:11.03 in 4x4x4 Blindfolded earned Tofael Ahmed Akib a brand-new national record for Bangladesh, anchoring an intensely focused day of blindfolded problem-solving. Held at BRAC Kumon in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Please Be Quiet Dhaka 2025 offered a concentrated showcase of memory disciplines where every single attempt carried immense weight. Across four specialist events on December 5, 2025, competitors had to navigate punishing cutoffs and unforgiving formats, leaving no room for error amid a battle where even reaching the top tier required absolute precision.

The single-day WCA competition brought together four dedicated specialists tackling four distinct blindfolded disciplines over four total rounds. Unlike larger open tournaments featuring standard speedcubing events, this specialized cubing competition gathered a compact yet determined field where every competitor went head-to-head in direct medal contention. The intense setup created a high-stakes dynamic across all four rounds, demanding extraordinary mental stamina and complete silence across the venue floor throughout the entire single-day schedule in 2025.

The 4x4x4 Blindfolded event produced the defining achievement of the competition as Akib secured his victory with the 8:11.03 national mark. The complex puzzle requires solving centers, edges, and corners without sight, demanding extensive memorisation schemes. Asif Afsar took second place on the podium with a successful single of 16:33.00. Both solvers finished with an average listed as DNF due to uncompleted solves in their remaining attempts, underscoring the razor-thin margin between success and failure in big-cube blindfold disciplines.

Afsar claimed his own moment at the top of the standings during the classic blindfolded event, delivering the premier 3x3 results of the day. Navigating the standard Rubik's Cube while blindfolded, Afsar registered a winning single time of 1:17.12 to capture first place in 3x3x3 Blindfolded. Akib followed in the runner-up position with a time of 2:03.50, while Tahsin Al Farhan locked down third place on the podium by completing a successful solve in 8:57.91 across the four-person field.

Behind the headline podiums at Please Be Quiet Dhaka 2025, dedicated specialists quietly pursued their own milestones under strict tournament conditions. Farhan Labib brought veteran experience to the venue, marking his eighteenth career appearance at a World Cube Association tournament. Labib tackled 3x3x3 Blindfolded as his lone event on the schedule, achieving a 4th-place finish among the competitors in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Meanwhile, Tahsin Al Farhan took on two challenging blindfold categories, earning his dual podiums with a resilient 8:57.91 single in 3x3x3 Blindfolded and a flawless two-cube run in Multi-Blind.

Multi-Blind competition demanded an even broader cognitive reserve as three participants took to the tables for the 3x3x3 Multi-Blind round. Competitors must inspect, memorize, and solve multiple cubes consecutively within a strict time limit. Akib led the field by successfully resolving 5 out of 7 cubes in a total time of 38:26 to secure his second gold medal of the meet. Tahsin Al Farhan finished in second place with a clean 2 out of 2 cubes solved in 19:25, while Afsar claimed third place by finishing 2 out of 4 cubes in 18:01.

The schedule also featured 5x5x5 Blindfolded, representing the ultimate test of endurance at Please Be Quiet Dhaka 2025. Akib was the sole entrant brave enough to take on the massive puzzle without sight. While his attempts concluded with a DNF result for both single and average, his willingness to step up to the biggest blindfolded puzzle completed a demanding schedule of four total events across the day.

All nine podium awards across the competition remained with domestic competitors, demonstrating the growing dedication to blindfold disciplines in the local speed cubing community. From record-setting big-cube solutions to intricate multi-cube memory feats, the tournament provided a concentrated stage for specialist talent. As the competitors look ahead to the next season on the regional calendar, Please Be Quiet Dhaka 2025 stands as a memorable benchmark for technical execution under pressure.
