Dawid Centkowski has been competing for 4 years.

His 3×3 best has come down from 8.68 in May 2022 to 7.79, a 10% improvement. Dawid has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
