Max Sun has been competing for a year. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 45.82, set at Tacoma Fall 2026, puts him in the top 3.4% of the 35,351 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 250th in the United States. Until April 2011, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since March 2025, he has put 261 official solves on the record across twelve events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 13.90 in March 2025 to 8.53, a 39% improvement. Max has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
