Michał Ciesielski has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 13.40, set at SLS Swierklany 2013, puts him in the top 18.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,494th in Poland. Across 9 competitions since July 2011, he has put 161 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.38 in July 2011 to 13.40, a 45% improvement. He has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
