Zachary Trimble

2×2 · top 3.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2024 · 2024TRIM01

Zachary Trimble has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.86, set at Belfast Autumn 2025, puts him in the top 3.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 281st in the United Kingdom. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 22 competitions since August 2024, he has put 305 official solves on the record across eight 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. That figure sets aside his 9 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 29.27 in August 2024 to 15.14, a 48% improvement. Zachary has entered 22 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
