Cooper D. Adams has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 7.83, set at Vegas Cubing Fall 2023, puts him in the top 34.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 9,834th in the United States. Across 8 competitions since January 2023, he has put 108 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 96% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 49.68 in January 2023 to 21.42, a 57% improvement. Cooper has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
