So Simple a Child Could Solve a Rubiks Cube

When I first learned how to solve the Rubiks Cube, I thought I had really accomplished something. I had learned how to solve a puzzle that has been plaguing me for most of my life. Ok it hasn't really plagued me my entire life, but every time I walk past the cube I swear it is mocking me.

Now that I am able to solve the cube it doesn't haunt me any more, but all the same it was challenge to learn and I feel a sense of accomplishment.

And then I see a video that makes me feel like I should have solved the cube long ago. Apparently the Rubiks Cube is so easy to solve that a child can do it. This is where that sense of accomplishment just floats away. I get excited when I solve the cube in 5 minutes.

So how do I feel when I three year old child solves the Rubiks cube in under 2 minutes?


Her hands are tinier than the cube. It is absolutely amazing. I guess I have to practice some more
