2×2 · top 9.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2024 · 2024GOLD11

Paweł Gołdyn has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.51, set at Cubing Mine Rybnik IV 2026, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 690th in Poland. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since July 2024, he has put 152 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.34 in July 2024 to 15.28, a 37% 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.
