Maxwell Jardetzky

2×2 · top 4.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2016 · 2016JARD01

Maxwell Jardetzky has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.02, set at Bay Area Speedcubin' 9 2016, puts him in the top 4.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,961st in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since April 2016, he has put 35 official solves on the record across five events. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.88 in April 2016 to 10.17, a 27% improvement. Maxwell has entered two competitions.

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.
