Joaquin Infante Medrano has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 29.84, set at Bajío Open 2023, puts him in the top 0.2% of the 34,786 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2nd in Mexico. Until July 2018, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 26 competitions since February 2017, he has put 1,607 official solves on the record across 14 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 65% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.01 in February 2017 to 5.96, a 60% improvement. Joaquin has entered 26 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
