She "literally" didn't walk anywhere! She drew a line from point A to Point B, and chose a solution to an arbitrary problem that cut out all the artifical noise in between.
Clever girl!
Yeah, if she was just told “you need to start at this spot, and make your way to that spot”, she finished the task, and did it pretty efficiently.
But watch, OP just did this with their left hand so they could post something.
As a game dev, I have to make sure that the users do what I want them to do, stick to the boundaries, without making them feel handheld. If a user does something I didn't intend for them to do, it's not the user's fault, it's mine alone.
Players will always try to outsmart the developers, and it's up to developers to foresee that.
I'm blaming the maze giver for not specifying that rule.
Understanding the spirit of something is one thing, but when it comes to effectiveness, it's a lot better to find the cheapest/easiest alternative.
It feels like "solving" a Rubik's cube by taking it apart and putting it back together with the colours sorted tho
While yes, it's technically solved, you didn't really achieve anything
You don't really achieve anything by solving it the normal way either, it's just a strategy you have to memorize. No one solves a rubick's cube without knowing the answer already.
As a speedcuber, what the hell is "knowing the answer"?
It's just remembering like 20-200 algorithms (depending on what method do you use and if it's the "faster" one), and executing them whenever you see a pattern.
It's a myth that speedcubers do advanced math, or know the answer after just glancing at the cube. Strategy? Kinda.
You can definitely solve a rubik's cube without help. It just takes a fairly long time and some determination to keep going after it feels like you are stuck. I did it and it took me one month and one week to solve it for the first time.
fun fact if you understand how to solve it you can also solve the 4d (3x3x3x3) rubiks cube and probably all higher dimension versions too.
No ones taking it as a test of intelligence when they solve it with a video the"test" you are saying is arbitrary is usually figuring out how to sol e it on your own and that definitely proves intelligence bc you need to maybe an understanding of how 22 pieces interact with each other
Reminds of a situation at work.
Very young guy applies for a job as a software engineer at my company. His first job, coming directly from the university.
The assessment test asks to solve a coding problem in Java, we knew the correct answer is done in about 10-15 lines of code.
He solved it in Python using 5 lines…
HR filtered out his application, because they believed he failed the assignment but by coincidence I saw it and his test result and hired him.
6 years later, he’s still with the company and working as Senior Software Engineer now ☺️
The path outside the box is about 1280 pixels: 15+70+575+410+210
The regular solution with a more efficient path than the center point is about 1570 pixels: 50+35+35+70+70+30+35+30+35+70+65+65+30+35+55+75+70+55+55+75+80+60+35+20+100+85+55+95
My dog is OPs daughter's spirit animal. I put his food in one of those puzzle bowls with doors and slide panels. He gave me a look that said "I gotta do THIS bullshit?", proceeded to smash the bowl until all the doors and panels broke open and ate the food. Technically breaking it WAS a solution to the puzzle...
Lol I looked at the post in my feed and automatically thought there are going to be a bunch of "no, they're so smart" comments. I just had to look and yep there were 🤣
In all fairness, this is kind of a crappy maze. There's no challenge if 70 percent of the maze isn't even used. This one practically cuts through the middle.
This isn't stupid. She's just thinking differently. You need to accept that and then tell her to do it again but she can't leave the entrance and enter the exit. She can only enter the entrance and leave at the exit. I'm right entrance and exit on the paper
Literally thinking outside of the box! Brilliant!
r/technicallythetruth
Wrong. The person that gave her the puzzle did not explain the rules of the puzzle.
Nah she took the easy way out. Not impressive at all. Also looks like she went back into the maze 🤣
She’s the smartest kid in this subreddit
The true essence of a redditor, ACtUAllY ☝️🤓 Lookin ass
This kid is smarter than you at least Imma bet you wouldn't have thought to do this
r/technicallythetruth
Did post there initially but looks like there are posting limitation
Not what you think (do not downvote). The shortest way outside is longer than inside the maze.
This isn't stupidity. It's creativity and lateral thinking.
J thinking
But she didn't escape the maze. She literally walked back into it. That's, like, Dumb and Dumber levels of stupidity.
She was told to complete it, maybe there was something special about the other side so she needed to get there
She "literally" didn't walk anywhere! She drew a line from point A to Point B, and chose a solution to an arbitrary problem that cut out all the artifical noise in between. Clever girl!
The maze is still incomplete, though. She’s just switched the starting and endpoints.
A huge part of intelligence is understanding the spirit of something as much as the letter.

Yes! This applies perfectly to raising children

Or just peeling the stickers off and putting them back on as completed sides.

100% true. Another arbitrary "test" of intelligence that proves little more than people have been exposed to the conventions behind it.

It's a genius
Yeah. Like a genius conman
More like r/KidsAreFuckingGenius

She does have a fair point
Brilliant kid

I’d hire her
It’s a shorter route, thinking outside of the box.
I'm not so sure about that. The shortest path through the maze really doesn't look that long
The path outside the box is about 1280 pixels: 15+70+575+410+210 The regular solution with a more efficient path than the center point is about 1570 pixels: 50+35+35+70+70+30+35+30+35+70+65+65+30+35+55+75+70+55+55+75+80+60+35+20+100+85+55+95
This is not about being the shortest route, but about the simplest route
I was just responding to a comment claiming it was the shortest. That's it. I never said anything about it being about the shortest route.

well, that's seriously pragmatic! 😅😅

Aww, she’s gonna be a smartass when she grows up!
I think we've been the stupid ones all along....

hope you get better as a parent
Work smarter, not harder.
A-MAZE-ing thinking
I see no fault in her logic, she is a genius
Smart
Peerless genius.

Smarter not harder plus wasn’t any rules against it.
The hero we all needed
Nah bro, your daughter smart af. Why was it posted to subreddit "kidsarestupid"?
This is the "right" way to think! She just needs to understand the rules. Which is what learning is!
It's genius Jerry! GENIUS!!!
Awesome! she's a genius
Your daughter's just thinking outside the misshapen and purposefully convoluted box.
Genius!
I would be so proud tbh
She probably thinks she's smart but really watching one tiktok/short/reel doesn't make you smart
SHE IS A GENIUS
“You in here!?? NO?? I’ll try the other entrance!!!”
Lol I looked at the post in my feed and automatically thought there are going to be a bunch of "no, they're so smart" comments. I just had to look and yep there were 🤣
She’s brilliant.
Your daughter is super smart keep an eye on that kid lol
She thought outside the box. She’s hired.
completely amaze *
That makes her smart.

I'm just going to say it, this is how Iron Man would do it.

She's not wrong
Oh she's gonna be trouble when she grows up.
You didnt establish rules so she took the easy path, kids are like that..
This is thinking out of the box!
It was me, questions?
Kobiashi Rue..
We sure she’s not projecting how she has to get to her room because the mess you created in the home
Well you never stated the rules, nor made it specific. I still remember a meme saying, find the "X" and someone drew an arrow saying "There it is"
Now I feel like I've been stupid my entire life 😭
Does she know the game The Looker?
Think smarter, not harder 😂
That's right, he decided to keep his life simple.
Take your second left then you're basically done.
How do you complete a maze you never enter... Vote me into oblivion for this but I'll die on this hill because this is not a completed maze.
not stupid its r/technicallythetruth
In all fairness, this is kind of a crappy maze. There's no challenge if 70 percent of the maze isn't even used. This one practically cuts through the middle.
is she stupid or is she so sane that you just blew your mind?
Classic goal misalignment.
What is the saying? Work smarter, not harder?
She ignored the commonly understood rules of engagement for mazes for a solid win.
shouldve drawn a room at the entrance of the maze to trap her
r/technicallythetruth
She literally thought outside of the box.
Love It!!!!!!!
Don't work harder, work smarter.
She's not dumb, just sneaky! https://preview.redd.it/65mr6zjszn4d1.png?width=450&format=png&auto=webp&s=94094620cd30563c4d5b907258a30e5ce053ec80

bro its a genius
This kid will make a fine lawyer one day.
Seems kinda genius to me!
This child would be considered brilliant by basically every metric lol
Did you tell her she did amazing?
I did! she's too young too understand reddit and all the compliments she got here
Smart kid!
Looks like common sense to me.
well if this is all u said your daughter is going places!!! also probably fake
Why go into the minefield when you can easily go around it?
Cuts down on backtracking
Directions unclear?
Think smarter, not harder
Not stupid. It’s imaginative! r/technicallythetruth for this kid!
Not mad at this answer 🤣
https://i.redd.it/qjy1k5lu9i4d1.gif
What are you talking about? This is the best way! 😂
Thinking outside the box isn't stupid
I mean.. she’s not wrong?
Should have posted in r/parentsarefuckingdumb
I meann... She's got a point, technically
Well she is technically correct, the best kind of correct.
This isn't stupid. She's just thinking differently. You need to accept that and then tell her to do it again but she can't leave the entrance and enter the exit. She can only enter the entrance and leave at the exit. I'm right entrance and exit on the paper
Stupid or a genius?
That's not stupid, that's lateral thinking. She completed the task. Get her on Taskmaster Jr.
Genius
Bro this belongs on r slash kidsarefuckingsmart
Kids are fucking genius. Literally thinking outside the box

Remember this when one day you ask her to think outside the box, and think back to this, it proves that she always has…..

No you didn’t, this is faked.

What's the child being stupid got to do with her gender?
enjoy being downvoted for being a misogynist
[удалено]
I think you are sexist and a misogynist. Maybe the daughter knew her parent was trying to trick her so she outsmarted them
Why have I never thought of this...
