3×3 · top 3.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2013 · 2013GSIO01

Paweł Gąsiorowski has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.39, set at Żmigród Open 2026, puts him in the top 3.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 357th in Poland. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2013, he has put 143 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 87% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 31.42 in March 2013 to 8.39, a 73% improvement. He has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
