Knox Chambers has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.20, set at Southern Indiana Qualifier 2025, puts him in the top 1.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 434th in the United States. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since April 2023, he has put 421 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His Pyraminx best has come down from 5.45 in April 2023 to 2.31, a 58% improvement. Knox has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
