the 2x2 ortega guide (FULL)

[jun349]

STEP 1

Face of any color
Find bars and put them on the bottom
Being color neutra is easier on this puzzle as the is less pieces

STEP 2
OLL (Orienting Last Layer)
algs are shown below; it is the same thng as 3x3 oll except without the edges
headlights+opposite(Pi):R U2 R2 U' R2 U' R2 U2 R
headlights+headlights(double headlights): R U R' U R U' R' U R U2 R'
opossite+bar(T): R U R' U' R' F R F'
headlights+bar(headlights): F R U R' U' F'
2 diagonal corners oriented(bowtie): F R' F' R U R' F'
Sune: R U R' U R U2 R'
Antisune: R U2 R' U' R U' R'

STEP 3
PBL (Permute Both Layers)
adjacent+solved: R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' (T Perm)
diagonal+solved: F R U' R' U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R F' (Y Perm)
adjacent+adjacent: R2 U' B2 U2 R2 U' R2
diagonal+diagonal: R2 F2 R2
diagonal+adjacent: R2 U R2 U' R2 U R2 U' R2
adjacent+diagonal: R2 D R2 D' R2 D R2 D' R2

diagonal+solved: F R U' R' U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R F' (Y Perm)
adjacent+adjacent: R2 U' B2 U2 R2 U' R2
diagonal+diagonal: R2 F2 R2
diagonal+adjacent: R2 U R2 U' R2 U R2 U' R2
adjacent+diagonal: R2 D R2 D' R2 D R2 D' R2

Better algs
Pi: R U' R2' U R2 U R2' U' R
Double headlights (also known as H): R2 U2 R U2 R2'
Bowtie: F R' F' R U R U' R' (I think you messed up the alg)

Alt alg for diaj/adj: (bar in back) R U' R' U' R' F2 R U R U R'
Adj/diag: (bar in front) R' F R' F2 R U' R
Adj/diaj: (bar in back) R' U R' F2 R F' R

Tip: never do D moves for 2x2, if any of your algs use D moves there's always a better version of the alg using only R, U, F moves
