Franciszek Gajda
Skewb · top 6.0% of 73,281 all-time · competing since September 2024 · 2024GAJD02
Franciszek Gajda has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.20, set at Czechowice-Dziedzice Open 2025, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 276th in Poland. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since September 2024, he has put 242 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 86% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.42 in September 2024 to 14.52, a 43% improvement. Franciszek has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
