Skewb · top 3.8% of 73,281 all-time · competing since February 2023 · 2023BYEJ01
Jens-Enrique Bye has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.74, set at Norwegian Championship 2026, puts him in the top 3.8% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 25th in Norway. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since February 2023, he has put 121 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 77% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.78 in February 2023 to 10.26, a 39% improvement. He has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
