Michał Śliwiński

2×2 · top 6.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2013 · 2013LIWI01

Michał Śliwiński has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.28, set at Santa Claus Cube Race 2014, puts him in the top 6.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 546th in Poland. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since June 2013, he has put 560 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 88% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.88 in June 2013 to 10.88, a 36% improvement. He has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
