Zach Hoffart has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.20, set at Fast in Fargo 2026, puts him in the top 5.4% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,056th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since September 2024, he has put 192 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 82% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.55 in September 2024 to 9.20, a 59% improvement. Zach has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
