Piotr Bakuła

2×2 · top 20.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2013 · 2013BAKU01

Piotr Bakuła has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.50, set at Art Rubik 2014, puts him in the top 20.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,376th in Poland. Across 6 competitions since October 2013, he has put 92 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 26.11 in October 2013 to 14.48, a 45% improvement. Piotr 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.
