| 1 | 1 minute 2.99 seconds | Erik Akkersdijk | Didn't remember what the exact time was so made it .99. Done in practise at WC, sub-1 is possible. | 20071015 |
| 2 | 1 minute 7.20 seconds | Chris Brownlee | solve number 83 on an average of 100, not lucky everything just fell together. My luckiest solve of that average was 1:11 skipping 3 of my 4 look LL. | 20070818 |
| 3 | 1 minute 13.94 seconds | Stefan Pochmann | Back in shape. Right on time. [I want a flying pony.] | 20060419 |
| 4 | 1 minute 15.27 seconds | Josh Berg | my second of 5 sub 1:20 solves. Hopefully i can get this in competition | 20080814 |
| 5 | 1 minute 23.30 seconds | Milán Baticz | My favourite puzzle :) Avarage is around 1:40. Practise, practise, practise. | 20071201 |
| 6 | 1 minute 24.55 seconds | Derrick Eide | I told Erik I would beat my PB a few hours before this time. I gues i was right. lol ;) | 20071114 |
| 7 | 1 minute 38.44 seconds | Giulio Chiminelli | Sub 100 secs, not lucky, I'm quite satisfied. Now my goal is 90 secs: probably my limit for a really perfect solve. | 20051031 |
| 8 | 1 minute 41.65 seconds | Daniel Hayes | I have no idea how you are doing it Stefan! You're Awesome! The Dallas Tourney put me into a megaminx mode since I was a little upset with my non-sub 2:00 solve. I'll be more prepaird for the next one! | 20050819 |
| 9 | 1 minute 42.11 seconds | Bernett Orlando | That is fantastic for me. I was in such a mood to get my best time so far on my 11th birth day 23rd may 2007. Thanks a lot to Stefan uncle. Still a long way to catch THE TIGER of MEGAMINX! | 20070523 |
| 10 | 1 minute 44.36 seconds | Caio Lafetá | Good. | 20080810 |
| 11 | 1 minute 44.88 seconds | Grant Tregay | Thanks again, Daniel, for the great motivation! While taking my average today, I looked up at the clock in amazement when I finished this one. I didn't think I had done that well, and it wasn't a lucky case through skipping steps, but I guess it just flowed well. Looks like I could use just a little more work on my average, though - get rid of the 'slow' times. | 20031201 |
| 12 | 1 minute 45.75 seconds | Dennis Strehlau | Done with Erik's minx:) | 20080812 |
| 13 | 1 minute 47.40 seconds | Dan Harris | I was a bit shocked when I saw this time, it was out of the blue. I'm still not sure if there was a timer malfunction somewhere, or if something went wrong, but I think that's just because I couldn't believe this was possible for me! Easily my PB thus far. | 20061026 |
| 14 | 1 minute 54.36 seconds | Greg Brown | No luck. Medium "f2l." 20 seconds for LL. :) | 20080423 |
| 15 | 1 minute 55.06 seconds | Gunnar Krig | Woohoo, my first solve under 2 minutes. I've worked quite a lot for this, but now I will focus on the more important events until WC2007 (2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 3x3OH). :-) | 20061222 |
| 16 | 1 minute 59.83 seconds | Levi Reichelt | Video | 20080626 |
| 17 | 2 minutes 0.38 seconds | Piotr Kózka | So close to sub120;) | 20070913 |
| 18 | 2 minutes 1.47 seconds | Henrik B. Aagaard | I got my Mefferts Megaminx and my times droped Faster, Faster, Faster | 20080209 |
| 19 | 2 minutes 1.55 seconds | Jack Moseley | Darn it, I wanted sub 2! I had an unlucky LL, otherwise it could have been better. | 20071125 |
| 20 | 2 minutes 7.36 seconds | Joël van Noort | Slowly improving. | 20060427 |
| 21 | 2 minutes 11 seconds | Ron van Bruchem | Had to beat Bernett again. :-) Most time is lost by looking for pieces. | 20070218 |
| 22 | 2 minutes 11.19 seconds | Lucas Garron | Video | 20070921 |
| 23 | 2 minutes 17 seconds | Chris Gilsdorf | Like Grant, I usually solve the same order of colors each time. This time, I saw an opportunity and switched on the last 2 faces. Not a lucky time, and I have much room for improvement. (PS Webber) | |
| 24 | 2 minutes 22.44 seconds | Phil Thomas | nice! for the #28 contest on speedsolving | 20080715 |
| 25 | 2 minutes 24 seconds | Andrew Webber | I did this right after I took my average. I figured since I kept getting so close during my average that I wouldn't stop until I broke my record. (DONNIE DARKO RULES) | |
| 26 | 2 minutes 24.93 seconds | Ouyang Yunqi | n/a | 20080531 |
| 27 | 2 minutes 35.19 seconds | Parker Gaitley | nice and fast. skipped edge orientation. uses grants method. only 10 days so far under my belt. | 20050319 |
| 28 | 2 minutes 36.56 seconds | Garrett Dickerson | Now I just have to get a better Meagminx that doesn't click into place. | 20070127 |
| 29 | 2 minutes 37.25 seconds | Lorenzo Vigani Poli | Very good for me, but I think I can do better | 20070707 |
| 30 | 2 minutes 37.77 seconds | David Barr | I recently loosened the screws on my minx. This was the second solve I've timed in a long time. | 20070416 |
| 31 | 2 minutes 39.29 seconds | Olivier Gaucher | Next sub 2:30 | 20040819 |
| 32 | 2 minutes 40.21 seconds | László Mészáros | This is my favourite puzzle! | 20080718 |
| 33 | 2 minutes 42.93 seconds | Michal Halczuk | COULD BE BETTER. | 20061204 |
| 34 | 2 minutes 45.62 seconds | Michael Gottlieb | This is my first sub-3 time. I'm using a Chinese megaminx and a Fridrich-style method. I hope to eventually get sub-2. | 20070516 |
| 35 | 2 minutes 48.03 seconds | Tim Sun | Fastest time of my fastest average. Lot better than my old 4:31 solve. | 20060617 |
| 36 | 2 minutes 51.40 seconds | Josh Fernandez | Watching the colors fall in their places was great! not a bad time for a 7 colored minx (mefferts minx - i took off one side when one sticker went missing). | |
| 37 | 2 minutes 52.18 seconds | Blake O'Hare | I can't believe I just did that. It wasn't all that lucky either. I decided that I wouldn't get up from this chair until I got my record back. I've been sitting here for many hours, so I think I'm going to go outside now. | |
| 38 | 2 minutes 57.53 seconds | Robert Schlicht | No skipped steps! First sub-3-minute solve. 2:30 is fast approaching. | 20080710 |
| 39 | 3 minutes | Alan Tan | HAH. 3 min flat! XP I got this on video too after 10 attempted solves each of them POPPING -_- I need a Meffert's minx soon. All the info's on the solve page. it's uploading though so my YouTube is youtube.com/RayjinBlitz | 20080323 |
| 40 | 3 minutes 5.64 seconds | Lars Vandenbergh | Thanks to Dan for the inspiration. | 20060607 |
| 41 | 3 minutes 8.40 seconds | John Phung | n/a | 20071001 |
| 42 | 3 minutes 9 seconds | Sean Connolly | 4 days before the next UK puzzle meeting. I started timing practise and got this fastest solve while taking an average of 5 solves (first solve too). Not lucky but I found pieces quite quickly this time. Method. 1: White star. 2: F2L. 3: 5xTriples (central belt). 4: F2L (for all but last layer). 5: Orientate LL edges. 6: Permute LL edges. 7: Permute LL corners (using commutators). 8: Orientate LL corners (also using commutators). I haven't practised Megaminx in ages so was surprised to get nearly 8 seconds off my previous PB. Cosine-Systems Website | 20060712 |
| 43 | 3 minutes 12 seconds | Will Klausler | I didn't need to orient the corners on the last layer. | 20080816 |
| 44 | 3 minutes 13.52 seconds | Mike Hughey | Done for an online competition with a Chinese megaminx. I still use a many-look LL; there's a lot of room for improvement here. | 20071228 |
| 45 | 3 minutes 25.86 seconds | François Sechet | Not lucky, I get these sub-3:40's all the time now. It's getting really cool. Grant and Daniel, I'm coming!!! Just have to divide my times by two, it means losing half the time searching for pieces and moving the fingers twice so fast. seems very possible. | |
| 46 | 3 minutes 28.08 seconds | Trevor Davila | Great job! | 20070918 |
| 47 | 3 minutes 53.84 seconds | Kĺre Krig | Swithing to 12 colors made it much easier. | 20050922 |
| 48 | 3 minutes 53.87 seconds | Jacob Rueth | First solve today. One lucky case is that I didn't have to permute edges, but I was flying!!!!!! Like a kite!!!!! | |
| 49 | 3 minutes 58 seconds | Matyas Lagos | Wow! my first sub-4 ! | 20080705 |
| 50 | 3 minutes 59.05 seconds | Willie Siau | AWESOME! FIRST SUB 4min. | 20080814 |
| 51 | 4 minutes 3 seconds | Betty Tregay | If they had given us three tries at the World Championship, I may have gotten this there. Oh, well. Better late than never. | |
| 52 | 4 minutes 5 seconds | Dan Knights | I use the same method as with the 3x3x3. My Megaminx has 12 colors. | |
| 53 | 4 minutes 6 seconds | Antoine Piau | n/a | 20080104 |
| 54 | 4 minutes 7 seconds | Tobias Daneels | This can be faster but I have to practise my LL. Done with a chinese megaminx, still waiting for my mefferts. | 20071227 |
| 55 | 4 minutes 13.17 seconds | Alex Barg | 10th day with the puzzle (Chinese version) sub-4 is next | 20080516 |
| 56 | 4 minutes 21 seconds | Mark Koenen | n/a | 20080317 |
| 57 | 4 minutes 21.54 seconds | Craig Bouchard | Ho hum stefan.you're insane.I don't see how you do it, but you have advanced tricks.me want gigaminx. | 20060108 |
| 58 | 4 minutes 26 seconds | Edward Kwok | no skips, fairly fast recognition..will break 4mins soon. | 20080111 |
| 59 | 4 minutes 29.01 seconds | Chris Parlette | I'm very happy with these times, considering I was at 8 minutes a little over a week ago! Lubing my minx certainly helped, and I'm getting a little better at finding the pieces. | 20060124 |
| 60 | 4 minutes 30 seconds | Mattias Berglund | A friend timed me and i was amazed when i heard the time. I think I average just over 6 min. | |
| 60 | 4 minutes 30 seconds | Alex Kumaki | Got it yesterday, having a hard time finding the pieces fast enough | 20080224 |
| 62 | 4 minutes 42.19 seconds | Christian Jewell | This was my first sub-5, which I am very happy with :), hopefully more to come, after some research and some new springs! I have a tiled mefferts. | 20061222 |
| 63 | 4 minutes 46.40 seconds | Casey Mihaloew | n/a | 20070407 |
| 64 | 4 minutes 48 seconds | Thom Barlow | My arm.. | 20060621 |
| 65 | 4 minutes 49.34 seconds | Nikko Decembrano | tsamba.!!! luck. may be next time i'll improve more | 20080227 |
| 66 | 4 minutes 52.55 seconds | Emile Compion | My first sub-5, and more are still to come (I hope). | 20061218 |
| 67 | 4 minutes 57.07 seconds | Arthur Adams | This Megaminx isn't too bad. | 20080125 |
| 68 | 5 minutes | Chris Moyer-Grice | I did this right before the all-hall meeting at my residence hall. Some guy said he'd time me and I said I probably would not be able to finish since it was 5 of 9 and I couldn't do it that fast yet. I hadn't previously broken my record in a while. I finally finished, in front of a crowd of about 100 guys, before 9. The timing guy told me, "You beat 5 minutes!" A lot of people couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it myself. Anyway, it's better than the last time. | |
| 69 | 5 minutes 1 second | Joe Ted Nguyen | n/a | 20070325 |
| 70 | 5 minutes 5.37 seconds | Jon Santos | fastest time, just got it 2 days ago thank u richie!! | 20080114 |
| 71 | 5 minutes 6 seconds | Sunny Nguyen | yahoo! | 20070424 |
| 72 | 5 minutes 18.13 seconds | Grant Kendrick | ive only been doing it for about a week so. | 20080417 |
| 73 | 5 minutes 47 seconds | Zebadiah W. Ziegenbein | This is weird. Yesterday when i was solving i kept getting really fast times all under 7 minutes. And this was the fastest but what is weird the day before they were all over 8 minutes. Something must have clicked what ever it is i loving it because now i am almost to my goal being able to solve in under 5 minutes most of the time. | 20060521 |
| 74 | 5 minutes 47.67 seconds | David Gugl | n/a | 20080208 |
| 75 | 6 minutes 0.64 seconds | Bob Burton | It takes me a long time to find pieces. Visit my site. | 20060822 |
| 76 | 6 minutes 1.08 seconds | Jeff Soesbe | US Nationals 2006, This was quite a solve for me, when I finished I was rather surprised at the time! | 20060804 |
| 77 | 6 minutes 4.05 seconds | Michael Palone | Not bad. 3rd day of solving. | 20080626 |
| 78 | 6 minutes 6.36 seconds | Jim Herron | not lucky. i cut whole minute off of my time. | 20050817 |
| 79 | 6 minutes 7.85 seconds | Ryota Nakahara | n/a | 20070227 |
| 80 | 6 minutes 10.19 seconds | Brian Hamrick | Second day of minxing and i've already cut 1 minute 40 secs off my record. I hope to get sub 6 minutes within a couple days then sub 5 soon afterwards. My cubes feel strangely concave since i've done the megaminx. | 20050501 |
| 81 | 6 minutes 14.62 seconds | Matthew Earnshaw | Only my 3 time recorded solve ever on megaminx - I've only had it for 3 days (new meffert's minx with 6 modded springs and a bit loosened - great stuff) | 20080224 |
| 82 | 6 minutes 17.61 seconds | Neil Fleck | Got this a few days ago. Even when I lubed it, it still seems very tight compared to what it should be. I'm *thinking* about putting some petrolium based lube on there to loosen it up. 13 years old, w00t! | 20051104 |
| 83 | 6 minutes 37.20 seconds | Tom Cassidy | My new best time on a 12 colour megaminx go on youtube and search for cubertommicass to see all of my videos | 20071015 |
| 84 | 6 minutes 39.50 seconds | Emilio Hemken | I need to get my megaminx to turn more easily. As of now, i can't use one finger to turn a cap but my whole hand. And i need to find a better LL method | 20060615 |
| 85 | 6 minutes 55.99 seconds | Bertrand Bordage | Done with a 6-colour megaminx I got for Christmas. It's easier for the edges than a 12-colour, but for the corners. Done the 2/01/2004 at 11:50. Using my system. | 20040102 |
| 86 | 7 minutes 4 seconds | Noah Hevey | I timed myself by eye on my iPod clock during a math lecture in Advanced Placement Calculus. I totally missed the whole lecture though :P Oh well. I totally forgot about my Megaminx until recently. I forgot how much I like it. Though mine is very tight. | 20060313 |
| 87 | 7 minutes 14 seconds | Ethan Rose | Very nice unlucky solve! | 20070529 |
| 88 | 7 minutes 17.13 seconds | Thomas Gelinas | this was my first solve after getting it in the mail a half hour earlier. i didn't have a guide. i just did it all intuitively. i will post thevideo of it on youtube.com soon. my profile is ddaarrkkssttaarr8877. you can check out my unofficial 2x2 solve. | 20070612 |
| 89 | 7 minutes 25 seconds | Zach Stein | n/a | 20071201 |
| 90 | 7 minutes 36 seconds | Jess Bonde | Visit my new webpage: www.rubiks.dk | |
| 91 | 7 minutes 41.63 seconds | Jeff Goetz | What a fun puzzle. I wasted a lot of time finding the pieces though. It's only 6 colors. I think my times will improve though. | |
| 92 | 7 minutes 45.99 seconds | Matt Walter | First and only solve that I completed without the timer stopping. Thanks to Joël for letting me use his Megaminx and for helping me with commutators..sub 7 is possible.but anything after that is crazy. | 20060713 |
| 93 | 8 minutes 4.54 seconds | Alex Patterson | this thing gives you a claw. Almost 8 Min. not bad eh. i hope for under 5. | 20060908 |
| 94 | 8 minutes 25.78 seconds | Jefferson James | Everytime I solve it I get a little better. | 20071226 |
| 95 | 8 minutes 28.50 seconds | Jacob Wildes | Timed on Stackmat. Got one on Christmas and solved it by myself the same day. I used the basic 3x3 algorithms from the booklet, and added an extra edge. Soon to get way better. | 20070113 |
| 96 | 8 minutes 56.43 seconds | Jon Morris | First timed attempt at the Megaminx. I only have a 6-colored version which I think is more difficult than the 12-colored version. | 20021202 |
| 97 | 9 minutes 51 seconds | Matt Buehner | This was my first timed Megaminx solve. www.overahundred.com | 20080523 |
| 98 | 9 minutes 54.23 seconds | Steve Withington | Had puzzle less than a week. Using a very basic method with only five algorithms. | 20071027 |
| 99 | 10 minutes | Kai Xiang | n/a | 20080423 |
| 100 | 10 minutes 9.82 seconds | James Watt | Sub 10 is coming. Day 4 on the Megaminx | 20070319 |
| 101 | 12 minutes | Jeremy Salter | I solved it in about 12 minutes in my biology class. My friend even confirmed my time. I'm unique! Just like everyone else! | |
| 102 | 12 minutes 10 seconds | Trevor Holland | Mine is kinda broken and only has 6 colors. if i had a better one i might do OK | |
| 103 | 12 minutes 55.03 seconds | Okko Pyssysalo | n/a | 20080401 |
| 104 | 13 minutes 52 seconds | John Young | n/a | |
