Emil Pawelczyk

3×3 · top 4.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2015 · 2015PAWE01

Emil Pawelczyk has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.93, set at ŚLS Zawiercie 2017, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 454th in Poland. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since June 2015, he has put 138 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 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.84 in June 2015 to 8.93, an 18% improvement. Emil has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
