Megaminx · top 3.0% of 35,351 all-time · competing since May 2025 · 2025NOSS02
Roman Nossenko has been competing for a year. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 44.67, set at Cubing Skills in Almaty 2026, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 35,351 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 7th in Kazakhstan. Until April 2011, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since May 2025, he has put 429 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 60% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.49 in May 2025 to 8.17, a 14% improvement. Roman 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.
