3×3 · top 33.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2015 · 2015DEMK01
Szymon Demko has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 17.72, set at Gdańsk Rubik's Cube Day 2016, puts him in the top 33.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,465th in Poland. Across 8 competitions since September 2015, he has put 94 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 85% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 49.78 in September 2015 to 17.72, a 64% improvement. Szymon has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
