Zachary Tawresey Zapata has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 6.59, set at Vegas Cubing Cup Summer 2024, puts him in the top 56.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 23,255th in the United States. Across 14 competitions since December 2022, he has put 167 official solves on the record across three events.

His 2×2 best has come down from 14.14 in December 2022 to 6.59, a 53% improvement. Zachary has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
