Maximus Ferrier has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.55, set at Brisbane Summer 2023, puts him in the top 0.48% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 27th in Australia. Until March 2013, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since May 2021, he has put 382 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 12.01 in May 2021 to 9.75, a 19% improvement. Maximus has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
