3 year old solves Rubik's Cube in 2 minutes

3 year old Emily Gittemeier solves the Rubik's cube in 2 minutes using beginner/intermediate method, 2 look OLL/PLLs. She is slowly learning some more advanced methods.

11/08
Order of steps in which she learned to solve the Cube:

1) 2 look OLLs, 4 easy ones she knows as Big Fish, Little Fish, Double Fish, and No Fish. If she got one of the other 3 she didnt know she would just perform Little Fish.

2) Yellow Cross on top, just one algorithm she knows as the Line until she got the Cross, 1-3 times.

3) White Cross on bottom, beginner method at first then advanced.

4) First Layer insert corners, slap the white.

5) Second Layer, chase the edge, pair up and reinsert.

6) Last Layer - fix the corners, one algorithm 1-2 times.

7) Last Layer - fix the edges, one algorithm 1-3 times.

This is how she learned to solve the Rubiks Cube. This may seem out of order but we had no intention of teaching her to solve it at that age as we didnt think it was possible. She started by watching her brothers practice 2 look OLLs and copying them. It was after seeing how easily she learned the OLLs that we realized she would likely be able to solve it.

Algorithms:

Big Fish- R U2i Ri Ui R Ui Ri
Little Fish- R U Ri U R U2 Ri (inverse of BF)
Double Fish- Little Fish twice
No Fish- R U2i R2 Ui R2 Ui R2 U2i R
(She likes the song Down by the Water by PJ Harvey)

Yellow Cross Line- F R U Ri Ui Fi

Last Layer corners- x Ri U Ri D2 R Ui Ri D2 R2 xi

Last Layer edges- R2 U R U Ri Ui Ri Ui Ri U Ri

The kids may shoot a how to video on this exact method as a school project.

ehhhhh :( this is more 2 min!!

[xXanimefreakstylexX]

umm i got to the fish and got the top layer and the 3 of the corner pieces but 3 of the edge pieces are in the wrong place... i remember there was a way to rotate them but i forgot how.... anyone know?

note that everything else is solve except all i have to do is rotate those 3 pieces...

agh! lil girl beat meh! im going back for round 2!

Show more solves from your other kids!

[princessebibi12]

..damn! im 17 and i cant solve it XD

[TheGimmeausername]

i take 1,400trillion years to do it

[eskimobob105]

Damn this explanation confuzzles me. I can't believe she's beaten my time by a minute. Lol

[skateboardboy2000]

i wonder what f2l she uses

I GOT BEAT BY A 3 YEAR OLD!!!!!!!!
