Maximilian Deimel has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.61, set at Vienna Cube Day 2019, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 209th in Germany. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 32 competitions since July 2010, he has put 1,468 official solves on the record across nine events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 14.02 in July 2010 to 8.61, a 39% improvement. Maximilian has entered 32 competitions, more competitions than 98% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
