Karol Stacha
2×2 · top 0.95% of 186,767 all-time · competing since March 2013 · 2013STAC02
Karol Stacha has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.17, set at Kielce Cube Attack 2014, puts him in the top 0.95% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 123rd in Poland. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since March 2013, he has put 179 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 39.69 in March 2013 to 20.82, a 48% 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.
