Tim Gajewi
Square-1 · top 4.6% of 25,272 all-time · competing since January 2016 · 2016GAJE01
Tim Gajewi has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 9.10, set at Bremium Winter 2019, puts him in the top 4.6% of the 25,272 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 20th in Germany. Until October 2010, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since January 2016, he has put 368 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.72 in January 2016 to 12.31, a 38% improvement. Tim has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
