[Unofficial] Videos of my daughters progress

[The Puzzler]

Man, your daughter is good.I try explain Dan Brown(ewwwww)to my sister. It took me 8 hours straight but she can now get the cross. >3

 

[StachuK1992]

She has seen a few sub 10 solves on youtube and her goal is to solve it within counting "1-2-3-4-5" even tough I already told and showed her the record is "1-2-3-4-5-6-7"

But honestly speaking I think for kids the most inspiring videos are videos of other kids solving.
Which 5 year old would want to look at some old fart of like 12 years old solve a cube?
Gotta be the same age range to get the "if they can do it, I can do it" motivation.

has some pretty good age vs time ratio going on.

not quite 5, but Justin Adsuara did an official BLD solve at 10

Glad you all like it!!!
She's basically solving according Jasmine Lee's tutorial.
But she's only using one Sune and one U-perm for the moment ( ZBLL is next).

fixed

Nah...

We're already too late for the young cubers list:
http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/misc/age_vs_speed.html

And for all we know she may have lost interest in cubing before the end of the year.

Puzzler, perhaps teaching 8 hours straight is not the best approach

I tooks us several weeks, practicing perhaps for 30-60 minutes in the evening before she goes to bed. This motivates to keep practicing because kids never want to go to sleep anyway.

This channel has good inspirational videos for kids:

She is simply amazing.

[Whyusosrs?]

Take your daughter to a competition and allow her to compete. I'd say that would be some of the greatest motivation.

 

[Nestor]

Awesome!
Makes me wish my daughter was older so I can teach her too

 

[Brax13]

Thats awesome, especially just for one week. Cant wait to see what she can do once she learns a little more about the cube =)

If a little girl came up to me and solved that fast I"d be put to shame

A proud daddy announces that Birgit participated in last weekends German Nationals 2010:
2:17.03 1:41.41 3:00.15 2:09.84 2:08.25 = 2:11.71

Her typical average but still remarkable as this was her first competition, first time using a stackmat timer and she had just switched from 'daisy-cross' to 'direct-cross'

Epic last solve: lots of people watching, two camera men from national TV and a big applause!!!

TV footage: http://www.zdf.de/ZDFmediathek/hauptn...
Birgit's at 1:20. The full solve was taped but unfortunately only a brief appearance in the TV show.

 

[Zeat]

wTF? she use 2look ???? omg i thought she use a begginer method

 

[Cubenovice]

wTF? she use 2look ????

She doesn't...
She does EO - CP - CO - EP

So EP can only be Z, H or U and she solves all of these by max 2 U-perms, she uses both CW and ACW.

Well, sometimes she "forgets" CW, then a 3rd repetition is required.

She was so sweet on the german nationals!
5 guys with camera and all were looking at her.
And when she solved it everbody was acclaiming.
