<p>AustinChamberlin: spelling</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:F2L higlight.jpg|thumb|160px|The First Two Layers]]<br /> '''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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> ===See also:===<br /> * [[Keyhole First Two Layers]]<br /> * [[Last Layer]]<br /> <br /> == Approaches ==<br /> <br /> === Fridrich F2L ===<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> The concept of pairing up four corner/edge pairs was first proposed by [[Ren Schoof]] in 1981.<br /> <br /> === Petrus F2L ===<br /> <br /> Another way to solve the 'F2L' is by building blocks, common during the first two layers of the [[Petrus]] method.<br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> * [[LL]]<br /> * [[F2B]]<br /> * [[F2LL]]<br /> * [[ZBF2L]]<br /> * [[First Layer]]<br /> * [[Fridrich Method]]<br /> * [[Petrus Method]]<br /> <br /> == External Resources ==<br /> [http://www.opticubes.com/cubing/f2l/ Optimal F2L Cases]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Cubing Terminology]]<br /> <br /> {{stub}}</div>
