Suppose that there is very very big box of candies that all taste different. Someone asks you to choose your favorite flavor. If you work like a regular computer then you need to try all the flavors one by one before knowing.

But if you work like a quantum computer then it's really weird but really convenient. You will try to put all the candies in your mouth at once but when you do then you realize that there is only one candy that you have been putting in your mouth and that it is the best one. All of that in one go.
