   something is wrong with that category when a six year old wins

      When the category is playing with cubes, I'm not so sure?

         She is supposed to be mindlessly scrolling TikTok/Instagram (or Chinese equivalent) by 6, not developing an attention span and problem solving!

            4 seconds of attention is not particularly impressive!

               What's the argument here, that achieving mastery sufficient to get to a 4 second Rubik's cube solve requires at most 4 seconds' attention span?

                  It is a joke

            Is this really problem solving? I thought this stuff was done by basically just memorizing patterns. Not saying it's easy, but seems like more a combination of memorization + muscle memory.

         well, why is there a women's category for this? How do we know there isn't a open category where the real competition happens?
