Melwin Andersson
Megaminx · top 2.9% of 34,786 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016ANDE17
Melwin Andersson has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 44.35, set at Swedish Decathlon Challenge 2018, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 34,786 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 24th in Sweden. Until April 2011, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since October 2016, he has put 240 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His Megaminx best has come down from 1:36.33 in October 2016 to 44.35, a 54% improvement. Melwin has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
