Kacper Goral

2×2 · top 3.0% of 189,179 all-time · competing since June 2023 · 2023GORA01

Kacper Goral has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.68, set at Wiltshire Spring 2026, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 222nd in the United Kingdom. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since June 2023, he has put 592 official solves on the record across 15 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 68% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.52 in June 2023 to 8.11, a 35% improvement. Kacper has entered twelve 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.
