Szymon Kaczmara
Pyraminx · top 9.7% of 129,321 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022KACZ02
Szymon Kaczmara has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.40, set at Dragon Cubing 2023, puts him in the top 9.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 37th in Austria. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2022, he has put 123 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 4.68 in August 2022 to 2.78, a 41% improvement. Szymon has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
