Nik Rayyan Iskandar Bin Nik Muhammad Izzat has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.28, set at One Shamelin Cube Open 2025, puts him in the top 1.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 26th in Malaysia. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since October 2023, he has put 478 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 2×2 best has come down from 2.54 in December 2023 to 1.28, a 50% improvement. Nik has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
