Pyraminx · top 40.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since June 2022 · 2022YUNF01
Melody Zhou (周妘芳) has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 8.54, set at Singapore Newcomers 2024, puts her in the top 40.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 315th in Singapore. Across 16 competitions since June 2022, she has put 137 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 92% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside her 4 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 1:02.47 in June 2022 to 25.98, a 58% improvement. Melody has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
