Skewb · top 8.4% of 73,281 all-time · competing since July 2013 · 2013BRON02
Maciej Bronk has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.62, set at PLS Marina 2014, puts him in the top 8.4% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 375th in Poland. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since July 2013, he has put 174 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 33.70 in July 2013 to 13.40, a 60% improvement. Maciej has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
