Zainal Abidin has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.36, set at Jember Open 2013, puts him in the top 9.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 154th in Indonesia. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since June 2012, he has put 157 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His Pyraminx best has come down from 7.58 in June 2012 to 4.36, a 42% improvement. Zainal 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.
