Melklauss Mendoza
3×3 · top 5.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2018 · 2018MEND01
Melklauss Mendoza has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.24, set at Cusco Speedcubing III 2019, puts him in the top 5.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 227th in Peru. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since January 2018, he has put 172 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 68% 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 18.44 in January 2018 to 9.24, a 50% improvement. Melklauss has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
