3×3 · top 35.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2014 · 2014KOZI02

Jakub Koziol has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 18.30, set at Caltech Winter 2017, puts him in the top 35.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 19,538th in the United States. Across 7 competitions since February 2014, he has put 69 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 49.66 in February 2014 to 18.30, a 63% improvement. Jakub has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
