Mei Ying Melgarejo Cerqueira has been competing for 2 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.49, set at Cintruenigo Open 2026, puts her in the top 8.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 353rd in Spain. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since September 2024, she has put 177 official solves on the record across six events.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 19.54 in September 2024 to 12.97, a 34% improvement. Mei has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
