Ada Cooke has been competing for 7 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.99, set at Edinburgh Autumn 2025, puts her in the top 4.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 338th in the United Kingdom. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 69 competitions since February 2020, she has put 2,427 official solves on the record across twelve events.

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.
