Dawid Karczyński

3×3 · top 5.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2013 · 2013KARC01

Dawid Karczyński has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.24, set at PLS Gdańsk 2014, puts him in the top 5.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 508th in Poland. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since July 2013, he has put 508 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 96% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 6.02 in July 2013 to 2.25, a 63% improvement. Dawid has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
