Paweł Włoszek

2×2 · top 2.4% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2006 · 2006WLOS01

Paweł Włoszek has been competing for 20 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.56, set at Poznan Open 2011, puts him in the top 2.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 250th in Poland. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 76 competitions since September 2006, he has put 1,516 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 52% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 54.60 in September 2006 to 15.21, a 72% improvement. He has entered 76 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
