Nayl Maksut

2×2 · top 7.3% of 189,179 all-time · competing since November 2023 · 2023MAKS06

Nayl Maksut has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.32, set at Astana NxNxN 2026, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 65th in Kazakhstan. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since November 2023, he has put 629 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 90% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 8.70 in November 2023 to 4.15, a 52% improvement. Nayl has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, Pyraminx. 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.
