The good part is 3:20.....watch my face as I realize I messed up the turn.

At my competitions we do parent/child teamsolves. We used to do with the parent turning and the kids giving directions, but at Nebraska I switched it to kids solving blind with help of parents, and that seems to go much better. Since my parents were at Cubetcha, I decided to surprise my mom by making her be on my team.

If TeamBLD ever becomes an official event, I could see some people signing up where the teammate doesn't know how to cube at all.

Very entertaining to watch. I think the winning time was 4:xy.

How does this work. Does the parent tell you what color a sticker is? Does the parent know how to solve the cube?

Yup, but the winning team (Boris and his mom), did this event when it was held in Nebraska, so they had a heads up on it.

And David, most people had about a minute to work out a strategy. In that short amount of time, you basically resort to pointing to a sticker and they tell you the color. Parents have no clue how to solve.

I just tried this with my mother. I did it using Classic Pochmann. I didn't have to turn the cube or ask for anything different the whole time. I imagine it took about 4 minutes. Lots of fun!

Looks like I awkwardly kiss Woner at the end.

Nice one. It's a great idea to do this for fun in competitions. I used to do this sometimes with my mom when she couldn't solve the cube yet and it was funny.

What I used to do was have her tell me the colors of my corner buffer piece and edge buffer piece, by telling me the color on the U/D face first. You can easily sub1 like that just spamming algorithms as long as they tell you the colors fast enough. Also, it's a great way to get the interested in speedsolving
