2×2 · top 22.4% of 189,179 all-time · competing since February 2014 · 2014LIPI01

Paweł Lipiński has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.67, set at ŚLS Zawiercie 2017, puts him in the top 22.4% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,519th in Poland. Across 6 competitions since February 2014, he has put 100 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 32.47 in February 2014 to 23.52, a 28% 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.
