Jan Bulczak

3×3 · top 2.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022BULC01

Jan Bulczak has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.92, set at Gdańska Liga Speedcubingu II 2025, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 281st in Poland. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 27 competitions since October 2022, he has put 462 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 12.10 in October 2022 to 7.92, a 35% improvement. Jan has entered 27 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
