3×3 · top 4.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2018 · 2018HUYN06

Zacheriah L. Huynh has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.70, set at Melbourne Summer 2026, puts him in the top 4.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 393rd in Australia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since August 2018, he has put 272 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 56% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.61 in August 2018 to 8.70, a 48% improvement. Zacheriah has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

Percentile against all competitors ever ranked in each event, a fairer measure than raw rank, because the pools differ by a factor of ten.

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.
