Pyraminx · top 8.8% of 129,321 all-time · competing since April 2018 · 2018POTO01
Szymon Potocki has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.22, set at LLS VI 2018, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 574th in Poland. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since April 2018, he has put 211 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 13.63 in April 2018 to 4.22, a 69% improvement. Szymon has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
