3×3 · top 30.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2015 · 2015KOWA03

Laura Kowalska has been competing for 11 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 16.92, set at GLS Cup II 2017, puts her in the top 30.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,303rd in Poland. Across 8 competitions since October 2015, she has put 92 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 3 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 37.66 in October 2015 to 16.92, a 55% improvement. Laura has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
