Zach Ramer has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.42, set at Calgary Open Spring 2016, puts him in the top 2.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 77th in Canada. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 27 competitions since January 2015, he has put 874 official solves on the record across 17 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 13.36 in January 2015 to 8.50, a 36% improvement. Zach has entered 27 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
