Maciej Pająk has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.43, set at Polish Open 2015, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 158th in Poland. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since December 2014, he has put 506 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.55 in December 2014 to 8.04, a 51% improvement. Maciej has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
