Maksym Pustovit (Максим Пустовіт) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.30, set at U24 Pyramania Open 2023, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 85th in Ukraine. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since May 2023, he has put 116 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 10.78 in June 2023 to 3.30, a 69% improvement. Maksym has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
