Quinn Ashcroft has been competing for 11 months. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.49, set at Australian Nationals 2026, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 667th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since September 2025, he has put 152 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 85% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 26.86 in September 2025 to 11.80, a 56% improvement. Quinn has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
