Alex Maass has been competing for 15 years. Their best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.34, set at PBs in Palisades Spring 2026, puts them in the top 0.25% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 85th in the United States. Until October 2015, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 108 competitions since July 2011, they have put 3,762 official solves on the record across 13 events.

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.
