Zachary Rama has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.39, set at Swisscubing Cup I 2025, puts him in the top 7.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 536th in the United Kingdom. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since August 2023, he has put 124 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 36.38 in August 2023 to 17.63, a 52% improvement. Zachary 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.
