He is the current world record holder for all singles 3x3 through 7x7 and 3x3 one-handed events as well as the world record average holder for 5x5 through 7x7 events. Feliks is the first to have ever gotten the achievement of taking all single and average records for 3x3 through 7x7. Feliks has also currently ranked second for 3x3 and 3x3 OH average, third for 4x4 and Megaminx average, and fifth for Megaminx single as of 27 April 2017.
