Max Ulan

Clock · top 3.0% of 32,048 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022ULAN01

Max Ulan has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 4.34, set at Canadian Prairie Championship 2026, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 20th in Canada. Until June 2015, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 20 competitions since August 2022, he has put 501 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 52% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 37.11 in August 2022 to 14.12, a 62% improvement. Max has entered 20 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
