Maxwell Tiancheng Kesuma has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.07, set at Dutch Open 2023, puts him in the top 15.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 334th in the Netherlands. Across 8 competitions since May 2022, he has put 120 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 77% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs.

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.
