Adrian Niemiec

2×2 · top 8.3% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2016 · 2016NIEM01

Adrian Niemiec has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.44, set at Wrocław Open 2019, puts him in the top 8.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 642nd in Poland. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 19 competitions since June 2016, he has put 409 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 34.16 in June 2016 to 14.71, a 57% improvement. Adrian has entered 19 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.
