Best F2L Algorithms

This document provides a summary of an algorithm set for solving the first two layers (F2L) of a Rubik's Cube. It is recommended to learn basic intuitive F2L first. The document then covers: 1. Basic F2L with 41 cases, most solved intuitively. 2. Advanced F2L with 36 cases where one piece is in the wrong slot. 3. Other easy F2L cases to recognize and solve, including when the corner is solved or a pair is in the wrong slot.
