Frederick Zuñiga has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.49, set at Panama Nationals 2024, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 14th in Panama. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since July 2023, he has put 227 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 90% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.91 in July 2023 to 11.09, a 26% improvement. Frederick has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
