Max Heming

3×3 · top 8.8% of 288,433 all-time · competing since June 2017 · 2017HEMI01

Max Heming has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.44, set at Going to The Gong 2020, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 797th in Australia. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since June 2017, he has put 45 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.58 in June 2017 to 10.44, a 56% improvement. Max has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
