'''First Two Layers''', or '''F2L''' are normally the first two bottom layers of the [[3x3x3 cube]], or essentially all layers up until the last layer on larger cubes.

The definition is a little different depending on the subject or who you are talking to. Normally it is as above but it may also refer to the part of the [[Fridrich method]] that solves the [[pair]]s without counting the [[cross]] part.

[[2-gen]] F2L, most pairs (30:42) have the edge sitting in the U-layer having two orientations, it shows R or F colour at the side. If it is the R colour you can solve the pair using only RU and if it is the F colour you can turn the cube (y') and sovle the pair to the back slot using only RU. The only pairs that needs both R and F turns are the six ones with the edge unoriented in the slot, if the edge is oriented in the slot both ways works.

 
== Approaches ==

=== Petrus F2L ===

Another way to solve the 'F2L' is by building blocks, common during the first two layers of the [[Petrus]] method.

=== Fridrich F2L ===
There are many ways to solve the 'F2L' on a cube. A common system is using the [[Fridrich]] method first two layer approach. After solving the cross, a corner-edge pair is paired up, and then inserted into the correct slot. A total of four corner edge (or 'CE') pairs are made and inserted to solve the first two layers.

The concept of pairing up four corner/edge pairs was first proposed by [[Ren Schoof]] in 1981.

'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

==Permutations of Edges Only==
This subgroup, [[EPLL]] is used as a [[sub step]] for many speedsolving methods, for example in the [[VH method]] ([[COLL]]).

{{H-PLL}}
{{U-PLL(a)}}
{{U-PLL(b)}}
{{Z-PLL}}

==Permutations of Corners Only==
This is also known as [[CPLL]] (Corner Permute Last Layer). There is one more case in this group, the X-PLL but that is the same alg as [[H-PLL]] + U2, see [[EPLL]].

East Sheen is a [[puzzle]] manufacturer that is mainly specialized in developing Magic Cubes (commonly known as Eastsheen cubes), which are similar to [[Rubik's Cube|Rubik's Cubes]]. Magic cubes are meant to have a higher quality and to move smoother and faster than regular [[Rubik's Cube|Rubik's Cubes]]. They are also much lighter, smaller and cheaper however Eastsheen cubes have the habit to lock up sometimes. You can easily recognize Eastsheen cubes by their purple/pink [[face]], which is orange on a regular cube.

Eastsheen cubes come in three different formats: the [[2x2|2×2 cube]], the [[4x4|4×4 cube]] and the [[5x5|5×5 cube]]. Apart from Magic Cubes East Sheen also produces mini cubes and multi cubes. East Sheen does not produce [[3x3|3×3 cubes]].

Eastsheen 2×2 cubes are light and move smooth. Their corner cutting ability isn't great at first, but once well broken-in and lubricated they cut corners fairly well. Eastsheen offers four different 2×2×2 types: type A, C, E and M. Their specifications are shown below.

The Eastsheen [[4x4|4×4 cube]] is used by quite a lot of people and is one of the most popular [[4x4|4×4]] cubes. Compared to the [[Rubik's Cube]] they move much smoother (hardly needing any lubrication) and are lighter. However, Eastsheen [[4x4|4×4]] cubes are prone lock-ups, and have very fragile cores. It is said that they can cut corners fairly well once they are broken in. This cube is significantly smaller than the Rubik's brand cube, so cubers with smaller hands will probably prefer this type. Some cubers claim that white Eastsheen 4x4s turn more smoothly than black ones, though others state the opposite. There are five different types available: type A, C, E, M and P. Their specifications are shown below.

All Eastheen [[4x4|4×4]] types also have a Do-It-Yourself function, which makes it easy to disassemble the cube and configure it. Some state that it does not perform as good as before after disassembling, so be carefull when you do this.

The Eastsheen [[5x5|5×5 cube]] is the same size as the Eastsheen [[4x4|4×4]] and also moves as smoothly. It is difficult to compare this brand to the Rubik's brand, since the two brands are completely different. Eastsheen 5x5s tend to be very smooth and easy to turn, but they do not cut corners as well as either of the other two types, and the cube tends to become very loose over time. Being as small as the 4x4 it is the smallest of the main 5x5 brands. This cube is difficult to get fast times with because it locks up a lot. Like the Eastsheen 4x4, it also has a fragile core.

There are five types available:

=== Mini Cubes ===

Eastsheen mini cubes are [[2x2|2×2 cubes]] with a smaller size than regular ones. There are two types: the S type and the R types. The S type is a regular mini cube while the R types contain keychains.

Eastsheen multicubes are [[2x2|2×2 cubes]] assembled to each other. Again there are two different types: the S types and the R types. The S types contain normal multi cubes (2 to 4) and the R types contain multi cubes (2) with keychains assembled to them.
