2×2 · top 6.8% of 189,179 all-time · competing since April 2023 · 2023QUAD01

Raiyan Faraaz Quadery has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.27, set at Bolton Summer 2023, puts him in the top 6.8% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 480th in the United Kingdom. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since April 2023, he has put 93 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 8% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. Raiyan has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
