Puze Mao (毛朴泽) has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.21, set at Taizhou Open 2025, puts him in the top 0.15% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 14th in China. Until January 2018, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 24 competitions since March 2021, he has put 692 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 15.18 in March 2021 to 5.77, a 62% improvement. Puze has entered 24 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
