Pyraminx · top 8.2% of 129,321 all-time · competing since September 2021 · 2021BALC01
Ksawery Balcer has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.11, set at Cube4fun League IV Dąbrowa Górnicza 2022, puts him in the top 8.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 544th in Poland. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since September 2021, he has put 243 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 68% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.86 in September 2021 to 2.70, a 54% improvement. Ksawery has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
