Lucas Urbanski
3×3 · top 8.1% of 288,433 all-time · competing since September 2014 · 2014URBA02
Lucas Urbanski has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.19, set at Wiscube 2017, puts him in the top 8.1% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,492nd in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since September 2014, he has put 96 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 67% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.70 in September 2014 to 10.19, a 51% improvement. Lucas 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.
