—————
Rubik’s Cube Notation of Turns
R = clockwise turn of the Right side.
R’ = counterclockwise turn.
L = clockwise turn of the Left side.
L’ = counterclockwise turn.
U = clockwise turn of the Up or Top side.
U’ = counterclockwise turn.
D = clockwise turn of the Down or Bottom side.
D’ = counter clockwise turn.
B = clockwise turn of the Back side while facing it.
B’ = counterclockwise turn. * Remember CW & CCW is as if facing that side

Little Fish: (R U R’ U R U2 R’)
Big Fish: (R U’2 R’ U’ R U’ R’)
Double Fish: (R U R’ U R U2 R’) (R U R’ U R U2 R’)
PLL Corners (BAR): (x R’ U R’ D2 R U’ R’ D2 R2 x’)

*Note some of these are not conventional Rubik’s algorithms because we modified them or made up our own for simplicity and ease of memorization.

Insert First Layer Corner
White sticker on Right: R U R’
White sticker on Left: L’ U’ L
(Slap the White side)

Last Layer Corners (BAR)
Put two solved corners to back
x R’ U R’ D2 R U’ R’ D2 R2 x’
or if no solved corners do it twice

Youtube has listed this video as "Restricted".
I just found this out by searching this video from a public computer and it came up as "Restricted".
Today Emily tried to view it from her phone and "Restricted"... Anyone know how to resolve this???
It's not set to restricted in the settings and I don't have any avenue to appeal this with Youtube that I know of.

Mistake winner: olliez 51 noticed at 0:49 I incorrectly titled 3, 764, 160 possible combinations while it is actually 3, 674, 160 possible combinations but informed me he is based outside of the USA so I selected a second comment winner.

In the future if I can do an international giveaway with the help of a retailer I will send olliez 51 something.

Thank you so much.Do you have a 5x5 tutorial

[alexandersvibing]

Thanks! If I get a 2x2 imma try this :)

[krazineurons]

Thanks for putting effort to explain all the steps but the title was misleading these aren't just 3 steps and 2 algorithms. Just in the first layer you discussed various scenarios where white is on top layer or it needs to kick out another piece. What might help is to teach common moves that help achieve micro objectives, so that reader can then build on top of it by layering different objectives.

[OriginalAndroidPhone]

On the OLL, what if two yellows on top?

[fron]

After just having solved the first layer, I always destroy it by solving the second. Why??
