Maksym Oliynyk has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.78, set at Deutsche Cube Days Helsinki 2024, puts him in the top 1.1% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 35th in Ukraine. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 47 competitions since November 2018, he has put 2,788 official solves on the record across 13 events.

His 5×5 best has come down from 1:44.87 in November 2018 to 1:00.55, a 42% improvement. Maksym has entered 47 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
