Master the Last Layer of the Rubik's Cube with 21 Advanced Algorithms

TLDRLearn 21 advanced algorithms to solve the last layer of the Rubik's Cube efficiently.

Key insights

🔑The final step in solving the Rubik's Cube is solving the last layer, which involves 21 different algorithms.

🧩Instead of memorizing all 21 algorithms, you can use a method called PLL (Permutation of the Last Layer) to recognize different cases.

🔄One common case is the diagonal corner swap, where two diagonal corners need to be swapped. This requires a specific algorithm to solve.

🔀Another case is the adjacent corner swap, where two corners next to each other need to be swapped. This also has its own algorithm.

🏁After solving all the corners, the edges of the last layer can be solved using specific algorithms for different cases.
