Bartosz Kotowicz has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.33, set at Ekonomik Elektryk Cube Race 2018, puts him in the top 4.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 346th in Poland. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since December 2015, he has put 199 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 72% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.50 in December 2015 to 10.20, a 38% improvement. Bartosz has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
