Help get Lachie to Speedcubing World Champs
Auckland
Lachie is representing New Zealand at the 2025 Speedcubing World Champs in Seattle in July 2025!
Since breaking the World Record for the fastest ever solve of a Clock puzzle in 1.86s in January, Lachie has been working hard and is off to compete against the world's best in Seattle, USA in July.
Speedcubing is all about solving various forms of the Rubik's cube puzzle as fast as possible. Clock is one of 22 official World Cubing Association (WCA) events. Competitors complete 5 solves to form an 'average' with their fastest and slowest solves removed and the remaining 3 solves averaged.
Lachie is currently ranked #1 in the world for Clock single (fastest individual solve) and #3 in the world (behind an American and a Polish competitor) for Clock average.
The WCA World Championships is a 2,000 competitor event that happens every 2 years. Lachie is excited to represent Speedcubing New Zealand, but we need your help to get him there!
The competition is 4th July weekend, which is in NZ school holidays, so needless to say it won't be a cheap trip. Any donation or sponsorship is hugely appreciated and will help us immensely.
Lachie is also available to speak (and solve) at groups or events - please reach out via instagram initially.

Another World Record! 13 April 2025
Lachie competed in Whitford on Saturday 12th April.
In the Clock final he broke the World Record with an average of 2.38 seconds - the previous record was 2.39 seconds.
His solving was great all day- in the three rounds of clock, 9 out of 15 solves were under 2.50s
He competes again in an unofficial competition in Botany on Good Friday, and then again in Papatoetoe on May 10th.
