Dominik Pankros

3×3 · top 2.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2015 · 2015PANK02

Dominik Pankros has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.79, set at Przeźmierowo Winter Open 2022, puts him in the top 2.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 261st in Poland. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since October 2015, he has put 203 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 55% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 8.73 in October 2015 to 7.79, an 11% improvement. Dominik has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
