Jacopo Melchiorri
Pyraminx · top 6.1% of 129,321 all-time · competing since July 2010 · 2010MELC01
Jacopo Melchiorri has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.66, set at Italian Open 2011, puts him in the top 6.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 127th in Italy. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since July 2010, he has put 268 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 90% 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 24.16 in July 2010 to 12.86, a 47% improvement. Jacopo has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
