Fryderyk Janiak has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.45, set at Dragon Cubing 2021, puts him in the top 1.9% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 203rd in Poland. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 25 competitions since May 2016, he has put 822 official solves on the record across 14 events.

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.
