Zachary Reyes

3×3 · top 6.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2023 · 2023REYE04

Zachary Reyes has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.76, set at CubingUSA Northwest Championship 2024, puts him in the top 6.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,719th in the United States. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since March 2023, he has put 168 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.95 in March 2023 to 9.76, a 53% improvement. Zachary has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
