The final step of solving the Rubik's Cube after you've solved this top face is to solve everything else and
This has 21 algorithms for what can show up which is a lot
So instead what you can do is learn what's called to look and so this step is called
Permutation of the last layer or PLL so to recognize these cases is really straightforward
Just look at pairs of corner stickers on each side. So these two are different now look at these two
They're also different these two. They're also different. These tubes are also different
So if they're all different then this is going to be called the diagonal corner swap case because two diagonal corners need to be swapped
So this algorithm is kind of long, but you can kind of see what's going on
so you just turn the front clockwise and then you put this pair into here and
Then do u prime and take it back out to where it was already then F prime
So that actually ends the first part of this algorithm and have broken this algorithm into two parts
You'll see why in a second then the last part of this algorithm is again, we're focusing on this front right pair here
we're going to move it over here and
Then move it back over here now
we're going to put it back in a different way because like this just put it straight down and then
like that and
Then after that now all of the corners are solved
Now in the next case you could get is if two stickers here are the same but the other sides don't have a pair that
are the same so that means these two are solved and
Put these two unsolved ones on the right side
So in other words put these on the left
So this is called adjacent corner swap because these two corners next to each other need to swap
So this algorithm is almost the same as the other one. I taught you just put it in a different order
so we start off by taking this pair out into here and
then move it back and now reinsert it the other way and
Instead of doing that last F prime we're going to not do it because the next algorithm also begins with an F
So we would just be doing an F prime F. Alright, so then the next part is move this pair into here
this should all you should already know this from the last algorithm you prime and then put this one back over here and
Then F prime to end it and that solves all of the corners once you've solved all the corners
It's just the edges left to go. So first I'll be talking about what to do
If one of the edges is already solved if that's the case hold it in the back
Now there are two possible cases for what could happen here?
now how I quickly tell the difference between these is
Which side of these two sides has the piece that needs to move to the opposite side?
So this green one needs to move over to here. So that's how I recognize this case
So this algorithm starts with our u Prime and then the rest of it is a little bit better to memorize visually
so now what you do is
These two stickers here that are the same you're going to move them up and out
so up and out then these two again up and out and then we're going to go up one more time and
Then put them all back in
So put this back in come back down put this back in back down
now for the other case where there's one edge already solved again put that on the back and
This time this is the other case because we can see that the opposite one is on the left side
So this one needs to go to the opposite side. And so in this case, what you could do is just do the algorithm
I taught but from the left side instead, which would look like this
So if you're lazy and don't want to learn a new algorithm you could just do that instead
But it's ultimately faster to do both of them with the same hand
So I'm going to show the right-handed version and that goes like this
We're gonna start with our two and then again, we're looking at these pairs here
So we're gonna move this pair out then take this pair out as well
And then now we're gonna go our downward so our prime before putting them all back in so our prime put this back in
Our prime put this back in and then now at the end you just memorize this our prime you our prime
Now for the cases where no edge is already solved this one is extremely easy
If you see that these two need to swap and these two need to swap
So how you do? It is like this M means middle layer
Turn so M 2 and then u prime or you it doesn't matter you can do them. Either way for this one
But I'm going to do u prime and then M 2 again
u 2 m
2 u prime M 2
so that should be extremely straightforward to memorize and if you're wondering how I'm doing em - I'm
Doing thumb and index here and then my ring finger flicks up from here first
And then my middle finger does the same afterwards. So that's how I do em -
Now for the last case again, there are no edges already solved
But the ones next to each other need to and these two needs to swap
So in this case again, we're using em moves
But it's not m2 s and I'm just gonna say that M Prime goes
Upwards which is a little bit weird to think about but M prime goes upwards like this
So place the ones you need to swap on the front and right and then to M prime u prime
m2 u prime and then again m2 u prime M prime u - M -
Alright, so that's it for this - look PLL tutorial
If you're wondering where I get cubes
Then it's from speaker shop and there's a link along with the discount code in the description for what cube I'm using here
so remember how I said there are more algorithms if you want to do PLL or a while on just one step instead of in
two steps so if you want to learn those ones
The links are in the description or on the end screen and if you still use the beginner method to solve the first two layers
Then I recommend you learn full f2l and I have a pretty simple tutorial here as well
So thanks for watching and I'll see you guys in my next videos
You
