Rubik's Cube Tutorial 2

Beginner Method #2 (Sub-2)

Introduction
Step 6: Permutate Edges
The idea of this is to add on to Beginner's Method
You already know the algorithm for the case on

additional algorithms. In this section I will also teach

used to, but will be very useful when you're trying to

scramble your cube or learn new algorithms.

Step 4: Yellow Cross
Case 1: Do either of the algorithms below, then it

will bring you to Case 2 or Case 3.

Case 2: R' F' U' F U R
Case 3: R' U' F' U F R


Step 5: Orient Top
Now we're going to learn a new algorithm so that
Step 5 is more efficient. The large diagram to the
right shows you how to hold the cube, and the
blue/red arrows represent which algorithm you need
to perform to go from one case to the next. For red
arrows, just do the algorithm you already know (R'
U2 R U R' U R). And for the blue arrows you have to
do a new algorithm (L U2 L' U' L U' L'). I think it's
pretty straight forward.
