Roy Lee has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 39.25, set at Mega Minds in Central Square 2023, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 34,786 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 90th in the United States. Until November 2014, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 134 competitions since May 2011, he has put 3,608 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 66% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.65 in May 2011 to 7.88, a 46% improvement. Roy has entered 134 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
