Frédéric Meinnel has been competing for 19 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.81, set at French Championship 2010, puts him in the top 3.7% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 159th in France. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since March 2008, he has put 331 official solves on the record across ten events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 18.36 in March 2008 to 10.16, a 45% 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.
