Ori Rose Melzer

Pyraminx · top 41.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since April 2015 · 2015MELZ01

Ori Rose Melzer has been competing for 11 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 8.61, set at Cape Town Summer 2020, puts her in the top 41.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 319th in South Africa. Across 9 competitions since April 2015, she has put 87 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 2 DNFs. Her 2×2 best has come down from 26.34 in April 2015 to 7.43, a 72% improvement. Ori has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
