2×2 · top 18.9% of 189,179 all-time · competing since March 2025 · 2025RAKF01

Franciszek Rak has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.39, set at Gift Packs Niepołomice 2025, puts him in the top 18.9% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,312th in Poland. Across 9 competitions since March 2025, he has put 238 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 18.67 in March 2025 to 13.93, a 25% improvement. Franciszek has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. 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.
