The oldest competitive speedcuber is Frank Zieminski (USA, b. 9 January 1931), who was aged 95 years 9 days when he took part in the Two Buffalo Cube Days 2026 event in West Seneca, New York, USA, on 18 January 2026.

On the day, Zieminski set three records in the World Cube Association’s over-90s category: the fastest time to solve a 3x3x3 rotating puzzle cube (5 minutes 49.75 seconds) and the fastest single and average times to solve a 2x2x2 rotating puzzle cube (1 minute 17.03 seconds and 2 minutes 26.27 seconds, respectively).

Zieminski's family and friends were there to cheer him on. His daughters described this event as their dad’s version of the Super Bowl.

Cubing has been a lifelong hobby for the 95-year-old. He is currently a member of the Buffalo Speed Cube Club.
