Three year old solves the rubiks cube

All he did was turn it in a way the majority thinks it will break (making it linear). Easy to solve.

Yeah, we had a few way back when I was in public schools, we thought it was a big deal if somebody got 1 side of it right
I haven't tried doing it in 30 years but it doesn't seem that easy, lol
Not necessarily! I have solved the cube and there is a set method. There are specific moves and sequences of moves that you need to memorize. The top layer is easy - you do the edges first and then the corners. Next is the middle layer - you work on the side edges. The moves here are easy to do. The third layer can be tricky depending on where the remaining colours are. This is where you have to decide which corner to do first - because if you pick the wrong colour, you can screw yourself.Questor said:
The key is that there are set moves that when performed keep certain pieces just where they where but certain other pieces get moved around. You take a look at the cube to see which pieces need to be moved. Knowing this, you can then decide which part of the cube is your starting point and also which moves to use.
I say give the kid a golf club. Teach her how to putt and drive the ball. You can't a scholarship from doing a rubik cube.

I still think it is pretty good for a 3 year old still fitting in a high chair to memorize all these set moves and to remember what comes next and/or to choose what comes next.
