Adam Schmidt has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.90, set at Adelaide Autumn 2026, puts him in the top 7.2% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 326th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since November 2022, he has put 394 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 57% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 29.11 in November 2022 to 12.35, a 58% improvement. Adam has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
