How many cases can you advance in F2L?
41 possible cases
The 41 possible cases in this step can be solved intuitively but it’s useful to have a table of algorithms printed on your desk for guidance. To be efficient try not to turn your cube around while solving and look ahead as much as possible.
How does F2L look ahead?
The simplest and most fundamental drill to practice this is the following:
- Solve your cross.
- Look for your first F2L pair.
- Determine the moves you will use to solve that F2L pair into its slot.
- Before executing any moves, look for another, different F2L pair.
- Execute the solution for your first F2L pair.
What is the algorithm for F2L?
F2L Algorithms Page
| Corner on top, FL color facing side, edge colors match | ||
|---|---|---|
| Case # | Algorithm | Case # |
| 1 | U (R U’ R’) R’ F R F’ | 2 |
| 3 | U’ R U R’ U2 (R U’ R’) | 4 |
| 5 | U’ R U2′ R’ U2 (R U’ R’) | 6 |
What is the best way to learn F2L?
In the F2L method, a first-layer corner and the middle layer edge are moved at the same time into their designated slots or positions. If you are familiar with the beginner method, step 2 and 3 are combined in the F2L method….Notations.
| Face | Notation |
|---|---|
| Left Face | L |
| Right Face | R |
| Up Face | U |
| Down Face (bottom of the cube) | D |
How many F2L algorithms are there?
There are 41 different variations for solving the corner-edge pieces in the F2L step. Many of these cases are very similar to each other (mirrors) and therefore use similar solutions. The variations are divided into groups according to where the corner & edge pieces are located in the Rubik’s cube.
Which is better CFOP vs Roux?
Which Method Is More Widely Used and has Achieved the Fastest Speed-cubing Times? The CFOP is more widely used than the Roux. Most world records have been attained using the CFOP, so we can conclude that it is the fastest method in terms of numbers.
