About Me
Hi all!
I'm listed as "Raymond Zhao" or "Ray Zhao" on the Halls of Fame and Insanity, respectively, and I am a hypercuber who also enjoys composing, coding, and speedcubing.
In 2010, I broke the WR for youngest person to solve all n^4 puzzles from 3^4 to 6^4 at 12 years old.
My YouTube channel is SharkRetriever. I've got a few hypercubing vids on there, including one of a no-macro 3^4 solve using a 4D analogue of CFOP.

Notes:
- Dates are in MMM dd, yyyy format for clarity.
- Red items are unconfirmed. Empty items in shortest means that I've only done one solve on the puzzle, or that the first solve IS the shortest.
