Juliusz Czakon has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 7×7: a personal-best single of 2:47.84, set at All Rounders Katowice I 2026, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 14,226 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 50th in Poland.

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.
