Zachary Adams has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.40, set at Wasaga Beach Spring 2026, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 524th in Canada. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since March 2025, he has put 134 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 88% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.25 in March 2025 to 12.08, a 43% improvement. Zachary has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
