What are OLL's and PLL's?

[PuzzleProfessor]

Hi my names Holly and I'm new to cubing,
I am on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/user/PuzzleProfessor - and have seen people talking about OLL's and PLL's and was wondering what they are. I know its a dumb question but I really need help.

OLL= Orientation of the last layer
PLL= Permutation of the last layer

they have all the algorithms you would ever need already on here.

i suggest trying most of them out before you pick one to see what they are like and if you can execute them quickly and easily

Ok cool, Also does anyone know if DIY Type F's are any good..?

I have a white one and I have put DS screws and core in it, it's amazing and the pieces are rounded which looks nice too I bought a Blue one but it didn't arrive...yet

Im thinking of buying it from cube fans because i already have an account set up with them. Also I was thinking of buying the white one too... Also I am going to buy a few Diansheng's.. are they any good?

I think you should search around a bit to find the answers. Both youtube and google has a lot of answers. When you have tried evrything, then you can ask on the forum.

Yes I know I should do that but when I searched around it all confused me and I got an answer from a person who explain what OLL's and PLL"s are rather than a long paragraph that made me :confused:

It can be a little hard to find the answers to such beginner questions because most of the material is not on what OLL/PLL are, but how to get better at them-- so different algs, and tips for learning, etc.

Its all part of the Fridrich method for solving the cube. You may want to watch a video that I have on YouTube called "How to become a speedcuber". It kinda goes over some very frequent terminology used in the "cubing world". Its a very old video though, i'll have to rewatch it soon and make sure it still makes sense! argh!
