Szymon Kulpa has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.93, set at Cube4fun in Nowa Sarzyna 2026, puts him in the top 3.4% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 264th in Poland. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since May 2023, he has put 245 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 15.33 in May 2023 to 10.43, a 32% improvement. Szymon has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
