Maksymilian Baran
Skewb · top 7.4% of 74,164 all-time · competing since June 2025 · 2025BARA10
Maksymilian Baran has been competing for a year. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.44, set at Mielec Cubing Days 2025, puts him in the top 7.4% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 332nd in Poland. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since June 2025, he has put 221 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 82% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His Skewb best has come down from 11.36 in September 2025 to 3.44, a 70% improvement. Maksymilian has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
