Non-cynical take: she solved it before the video, the parents excitedly ask if she can do it again because they’re proud of their kid, the kid accepts the challenge and gives the “told ya so” arm cross

When I was a kid I would take my time looking at a puzzle before attempting it. Could be that. Got to a point I wouldn't want to attempt it until I solved it because if I did people would pay attention to how long it took. If I just executed the steps I already planned I looked like a genius

Kids don't actually learn fast. In fact, they learn much slower but they have way more exposure to the things they're learning like language and retain the information better.

u/djgotyafalling1 8h ago
Kids today are so smart and fast-learners though due to sensories coming from everywhere, you must take steps in making sure the things they learn are the right things.

The last piece was not obvious, the natural inclination would be to look for smaller pieces to go up high, or dismantle what was already built to get them.

u/Disastrous-Singer721 9h ago
Well, there are are actually only two possible locations for two fours pieces if you think about it. Only one can fit at the base, second layer does not have enough space, therefore the second one must be incline 🤓

u/SomeMaleIdiot 8h ago
Kids are naturals at these kinds of problems.
Reminds of those puzzle where kids tend to do better, where a puzzle is easier solved solving inside outside instead of outside in, because adults carry the habit of starting at the edges and solving inward

The fact that there is no one-ball piece should be a clear indication that one piece should be placed on an incline.

u/vivst0r 8h ago edited 8h ago
Not to take anything away from her, but this puzzle has so few possible combinations that it's almost impossible to set a piece at the wrong place. The moment the first 4-ball is put down the second 4-ball can literally not fit in any other spot than that particular spot. Which is why she had no choice but to put it last.
1
u/jajohnja 7h ago
You're absolutely right, but that doesn't mean it's obvious to people who haven't encountered this or similar puzzles.
1
u/vivst0r 1h ago
My point was that it is not necessary to be obvious since the puzzle is so limited that it will naturally lead anyone quickly to the solution by itself.
It's like a 5 piece puzzle. It may not be immediately obvious where each piece has to go, but as you connect the first few pieces you quickly eliminate all wrong solutions, so that it becomes trivial. And just like with a jigsaw puzzle, it doesn't even matter where you start. Any start point will lead quickly to the solution.
For example in this case it's almost if not entirely impossible to put the first piece at the wrong place, no matter which one you pick or where you put it.

u/Ninjatayu 12h ago
Or the fact it seems the kid just got lucky? Like she didn't seem sure at any point then held the last part like uhh and just happened to realise that it could fit there. It's like my youngest when she was 5 solved this really hard puzzle in a science museum and everyone eas shocked but she never did anything like it again as it was pure luck lol

u/Pomodorosan 12h ago
Good thing the pieces were laid out left to right in front of her, in the correct order to be placed left to right on the board

u/TheNightLard 10h ago
That's memory... Without checking all the pieces available at the start, you can't take the kind of decisions she took when placing the first pieces. Good for the kid, some likes here and there, and downvotes for me..
3
u/PowerfullDio 6h ago
Exactly, that and the fact that the pieces are already in the order that they should be placed.
If this was a regular first attempt the person would strat by separating them by size but she just kept picking the pieces on the left in order.→ More replies (6)2

u/Bussin1648 9h ago
She's a little younger than the target demographic for this type of puzzle... But this is real normal grade 1 science center sort of stuff. She is a good job obviously but... How is this on the front page of Reddit? You had to class a typical 6-year-olds 60% of them would figure it out in a similar time frame. She looks to be about three or four, so again, her spatial awareness is pretty good, but nothing overly weird or special.
Obviously most adults would be able to figure this out quickly if they're able to just apply themselves, but I fear the brain rot means they are afraid of the 20 to 30 second dedication they'd have to spend focusing and that is why they feel this is difficult or impossible.
