Krzysztof Szwarc

3×3 · top 77.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2006 · 2006SZWA01

Krzysztof Szwarc has been competing for 20 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 40.25, set at Polish Nationals 2010, puts him in the top 77.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,363rd in Poland. Across 24 competitions since September 2006, he has put 95 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 65% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 11 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:34.66 in September 2006 to 40.25, a 57% improvement. Krzysztof has entered 24 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
