Melis Atarim has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.82, set at Rubik's WCA World Championship 2023, puts her in the top 4.1% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 15th in Turkey. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since April 2022, she has put 415 official solves on the record across 13 events.

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.
