Władysław Potok has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.20, set at West Side Cube Clash 2023, puts him in the top 1.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 434th in the United States. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since March 2019, he has put 270 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 11.44 in June 2019 to 7.32, a 36% improvement. He has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
