Denys Maksom (Денис Максьом) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.94, set at Slavonic Gymnasium Open 2016, puts him in the top 12.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 224th in Ukraine. Across 3 competitions since May 2015, he has put 113 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs.

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.
