Jamie Knox has been competing for 3 years.

Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 29 competitions since May 2023, he has put 1,580 official solves on the record across 13 events.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
