Pyraminx · top 5.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since February 2015 · 2015ORZE01
Jarek Orzeł has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.61, set at ŚLS Wodzisław Śląski 2015, puts him in the top 5.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 418th in Poland. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since February 2015, he has put 174 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.17 in February 2015 to 9.90, a 59% improvement. Jarek has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
