Filip Buława

Pyraminx · top 7.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since December 2016 · 2016BULA01

Filip Buława has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.98, set at Polish Nationals 2017, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 509th in Poland. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since December 2016, he has put 225 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 19% around a typical one; 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His Pyraminx best has come down from 6.55 in December 2016 to 3.98, a 39% improvement. Filip has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, Pyraminx. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
