Szymon Kuliś
Pyraminx · top 9.2% of 130,891 all-time · competing since March 2015 · 2015KULI01
Szymon Kuliś has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.31, set at ŚLS Zawiercie 2015, puts him in the top 9.2% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 605th in Poland. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since March 2015, he has put 97 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 39.52 in March 2015 to 19.56, a 51% improvement. Szymon has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
