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 74,164 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 6 competitions since February 2023, he has put 166 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.78 in February 2023 to 9.91, a 41% improvement. He has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
