As you know I'd rather not refer to them as 'algorithms' you can figure them out yourself after knowing a few standard ones, it's faster to figure out the rest yourself than to 'learn' all algorithms...Originally posted by Cubinator@May 9 2007, 03:20 AM
Basically, you pair up the corner and the edge and then insert them to the correct positions. There are 41 (I think) algorithms required to do this; I recommend you try to find them all (or most of them, anyway) on your own. I learned from this: http://dougreed.no-ip.org/~doug/f2l/f2l.htm
Pay lots of attention to Erik's post, especially everything in bold.Originally posted by Erik@May 9 2007, 04:09 AM

ive never seen any of your other posts so i do not know if you can solve a cube or not, but if you havnt already learn to solve the cube with a easy layer-by-layer method. you will see eventually that sometimes when you insert a coner for the first layer, a second layer middle peice will be beside it(or directly below it once you place it in its spot) and will be in the correct place when you move on to the second layer. what the fridich method does is, puts all the corners in the right place with the correct second layer edge peice at the same time. So i suggest if you havnt already learn to solve the cube first, after you can do that decently you will start to understand what is going on while putting the pieces in place. but like all the other guys said, dont look at like your learning alg's for it.Originally posted by Fartix@May 10 2007, 01:34 AM
I still don't really understand it. How do I pair up a corner with an edge?

Think about how your solve your middle layer edges. You basically take the corner out, pair the edge to the corner, and put them both in as a pair. So, in essence, you insert corner, take out corner, pair, and insert. In Fridrich F2L, you skip the first two steps because they are redundant.Originally posted by Fartix@May 9 2007, 06:34 PM
