Rayhan Cote has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.42, set at NovaCube 2018, puts him in the top 1.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 721st in the United States. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 25 competitions since September 2016, he has put 278 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 29.91 in September 2016 to 12.12, a 59% improvement. Rayhan has entered 25 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
