Daniel Poprawa
Pyraminx · top 7.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since February 2014 · 2014POPR01
Daniel Poprawa has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.04, set at Krakow Cubing Spree 2014, puts him in the top 7.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 524th in Poland. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since February 2014, he has put 77 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 47.62 in February 2014 to 22.80, a 52% improvement. Daniel 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.
