Wiktor Nowakowski
2×2 · top 9.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2016 · 2016NOWA03
Wiktor Nowakowski has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.56, set at LLS II 2018, puts him in the top 9.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 726th in Poland. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since April 2016, he has put 158 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.60 in April 2016 to 11.53, a 38% improvement. Wiktor 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.
