2×2 · top 0.48% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2006 · 2006HALC01

Michał Halczuk has been competing for 20 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 0.96, set at Żmigród Open 2023, puts him in the top 0.48% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 80th in Poland. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 181 competitions since September 2006, he has put 10,066 official solves on the record across twelve events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 17.61 in May 2008 to 6.06, a 66% improvement. He has entered 181 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
