Tomek Bogdanik has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.16, set at Polish Open 2015, puts him in the top 1.8% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 118th in Poland. Until December 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 35 competitions since September 2013, he has put 1,969 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 73% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.75 in September 2013 to 8.30, a 44% improvement. Tomek has entered 35 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
