Person solving a Rubik's Cube with multiple unsolved cubes in the background.

It's time to solve that Rubik's puzzle of yours, but how do you do it? Erno Rubik designed these three-dimensional mechanical puzzles to be precariously difficult, unless you know a little about mathematical algorithms, then it's just a matter of time and determination.

This two-part video tutorial will teach you how to solve the Rubik's Cube F2L, OLL and PLL. Make sure you have your Rubiks Cube notation down before trying this out, and before you know it, you'll be on your way to speedsolving in no time.

F2L = First Two Layers

OLL = Orientation of the Last Layer

PLL = Permutation of the Last Layer
