Paweł Duchnowski has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 7.10, set at Gdańsk Open 2020, puts him in the top 28.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,558th in Poland. Across 14 competitions since March 2018, he has put 174 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 58% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 57.15 in March 2018 to 21.49, a 62% improvement. He has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
