Max Park

3×3 · top 0.0014% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2012 · 2012PARK03

Max Park has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 3.13, set at Pride in Long Beach 2023, puts him in the top 0.0014% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1st in the United States. Until June 2023, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 217 competitions since August 2012, he has put 8,121 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.84 in August 2012 to 3.13, an 82% improvement. Max has entered 217 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
