Max Mayer has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.85, set at WCA South American Championship 2026, puts him in the top 4.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 237th in Germany. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since February 2024, he has put 201 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 10.60 in June 2025 to 8.85, a 17% improvement. Max has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
