Bartłomiej Zięba
3×3 · top 2.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2013 · 2013ZIEB01
Bartłomiej Zięba has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.06, set at Santa Claus Cube Race 2015, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 302nd in Poland. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since October 2013, he has put 412 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 52% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.75 in October 2013 to 8.06, a 37% improvement. He has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
