Adam Walker has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.00, set at Dutch Masters 2019, puts him in the top 7.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 88th in the Czech Republic. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since September 2017, he has put 179 official solves on the record across seven events.

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.
