Muhammad Rayyan Rizwan

2×2 · top 4.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022RIZW01

Muhammad Rayyan Rizwan has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.97, set at Kensington Summer Sunday 2023, puts him in the top 4.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 349th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since August 2022, he has put 172 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 83% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.84 in August 2022 to 14.71, a 41% improvement. Muhammad has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
