Skewb · top 7.5% of 73,281 all-time · competing since August 2024 · 2024WRIG14
Max Wright has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.46, set at Kansas Air Capital Cubing 2025, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,160th in the United States. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since August 2024, he has put 113 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.40 in August 2024 to 11.42, a 34% improvement. Max has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
