Speedcubing is undoubtedly my biggest pastime. As its name suggests, speedcubing is the sport in which you attempt to solve a Rubik’s Cube (one of the highest-selling toys of all time!) at really high speeds. Cubing is something I do both at home and at World Cube Association (WCA) competitions!

Some of my most notable accomplishments include:

• Sponsored by TheCubicle, the most prominent cubing retailer in the world, having over 200,000 subscribers on YouTube! Consider using my discount code, “maxsiauw”, for 5% off any order you make with them.

• 1st in the Pacific Northwest* for 3×3. My current PRs are a 4.22 single and a 6.38 average.
   
• 3rd in the world* and 1st in North America* for Sum of Ranks. It’s a statistic where you add up someone’s rankings for all of the WCA events, hence the name, “Sum of Ranks.” Its purpose is to measure someone’s all-around performance in speedcubing. The lower the sum, the higher someone is on the sum of ranks leaderboard.

*These WCA rankings are the best rankings I’ve achieved in my cubing career, not necessarily my current rankings.

There are a total of 17 events that one can compete in at a competition, each of which are listed below. Click one of the links to see my progression in the respective event. To the right of each event name, you can click a link to see which puzzles I use and where you can buy them.

Also, I’ve decided to keep my accomplishments in 3×3 with feet on my website, despite it having been removed from all World Cube Association competitions, more info for which can be found here.
