Jakub Bukowski

3×3 · top 8.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2017 · 2017BUKO02

Jakub Bukowski has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.17, set at GLS Cup IV 2019, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 705th in Poland. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since March 2017, he has put 172 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 51% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 36.79 in March 2017 to 10.17, a 72% improvement. Jakub has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
