Łukasz Ciałoń has been competing for 21 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.34, set at Poznan Open 2011, puts him in the top 1.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 174th in Poland. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 25 competitions since September 2005, he has put 597 official solves on the record across five events.

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.
