Michał Cekus has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.50, set at Kielce Cube Attack 2014, puts him in the top 8.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 683rd in Poland. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since January 2014, he has put 133 official solves on the record across eight 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 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.14 in January 2014 to 14.45, a 28% improvement. He has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
