4. Don’t Be This Guy
5. Cube Notation Clockwise Turns are noted as a single upper case letter R means turn the right side clockwise 90˚ Counter Clockwise Turns are noted as a single upper case letter with an apostrophe. R’ means turn the right side counter-clockwise 90˚ 180˚ Turns are noted with a “2” before the side 2R means turn the right side clockwise 2 - 90˚ turns Small Letters like: f Means move the first 2 sections clockwise 90˚
6. CFOP! !   1. (Cross) Make a cross on one side by solving all edges of a given color. Align the edges with the second-layer centers. !   2. F2L (First Two Layers) Fill in the four slots between the cross pieces, one slot at a time. Each slot is filled by inserting a corner and its corresponding edge. !   3. OLL (Orientation of the Last Layer) Make the entire top side (the last layer) of the cube a solid color. !   4. PLL (Permutation of the Last Layer) Finally, you finish the cube by permuting the top layer of the cube.
7. Cross !   Make the White Cross Flip an Edge Piece (Edge Piece Facing You)! ! F’ U L’ U’!
8. First Two Layers (F2L) !   Flip your cube so the White Cross is on the bottom (unless you solved the white cross on the bottom)! !   Get a corner in top right with matching sides.! !   Where the white faces will change the algorithm used.!
9. First Two Layers (F2L) Cont. •  Adjust your Edge piece where the side matches the center.! •  Rotate the cube so the edge piece is on the right side.! •  If you want to move the edge piece forward/backwards changes the algorithm used.!
10. Orientate the Last Layer (OLL) !   Now to create a Yellow Cross! !   You’ll have 3 Scenarios! !   Yellow Line! !   Yellow “L”! !   Cross Complete (Yay!)! If no edge pieces are facing up do the 2nd (f R U R’ U’ f’) to give you a yellow line.!
11. Orientate the Last Layer (OLL) Cont. !  Make the entire top Yellow (facing up) !   3 Scenarios !   1 Corner UP !   Make it bottom left !   0 Corner UP !   Make a yellow corner face left (in bottom left) !   2 Corners UP !   Make a yellow corner face forward (in bottom left) R U R’ U R U2 R'!
12. Permutation of Last Layer (PLL) !   All yellow pieces should be facing up ! !   Your first 2 levels should still be complete.! •  “Look for the Headlights” and put them facing back! •  R' F R' B2 R F' R' B2 R2!
13. Permutation of Last Layer (PLL) Cont. !   Now to Complete our Cube! !   Look for a finished edge piece (put it in back) !   No finished edge piece? !   Same algorithm !   R U’ R U R U R U’ R' U' R2 !   Not complete? Do it again!
