    Great idea. Was actually looking at those yesterday. It's on my list for sure. Using the iPad now but mat & timer makes more sense. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Not sure if it's the "right" way to teach F2L but we've been following Rido's hunting story. He's got the "eagle" down really well. Today was the first day he completed the 2 layers by himself. Now he can consistently complete, not bad! Going to start on alligator and tiger next. Hopefully...

    Great question and we have no idea. My wife and I asked him but he said he doesn't know [emoji3] It's either something him and his school friends have made up or it was just a random thing that popped into his head at the end of the video. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Thanks, Dom! I have 2 boys (5 & 3) who I push to try new things and not always stay in your comfort zone. As a parent, I believe it's my responsibility to help give them the tools necessary to be successful in whatever they are into. That's why I've spent the time learning how to solve...

    We seem to struggle the most on the last F2L solve. Here's what we are trying to figure out right now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hahah! He's actually higher on the IQ scale [emoji3] - which is exactly why I bought him a Rubik's cube in the first place. Certain things come easier to him and he wasn't taking "risks" if he'd think he would fail. My goal with the Rubik's cube was to aggravate him and it did just that. He...

    Haha. He's averaging just over a minute using beginners method. He's still working on figuring out F2L - we are working on it together. He's grasping the concept now just needs to get comfortable with doing it. It's a lot to think about when you're first doing it. It took him about 2 weeks to...

    He has started to time his solves on his iPad. He averages a little over a minute using the beginners method. I will look further into Roux. Any reason why you prefer that method? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
