Karol Kocurek has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 0.96, set at Cube Zone Katowice 2025, puts him in the top 0.49% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 80th in Poland. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since August 2024, he has put 466 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 18.08 in August 2024 to 10.20, a 44% improvement. Karol has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
