Maxwell Davies

2×2 · top 5.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since May 2022 · 2022DAVI11

Maxwell Davies has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.06, set at Rubik's UK Championship 2024, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 376th in the United Kingdom. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 59 competitions since May 2022, he has put 1,976 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 85% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 34.99 in May 2022 to 10.38, a 70% improvement. Maxwell has entered 59 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
