Megaminx · top 0.95% of 34,786 all-time · competing since June 2019 · 2019NURG02
Renat Nurgaleev has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 37.04, set at Winter in Bishkek 2026, puts him in the top 0.95% of the 34,786 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4th in Russia. Until May 2016, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since June 2019, he has put 319 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 67% 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 12.93 in June 2019 to 7.35, a 43% improvement. Renat 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.
