How to solve a 2×2

Today you’ll learn how to solve this!

Preparation: Read the “Notation” page.

Step 1: The First Layer

Match up pieces with white on them. You don’t need any algorithms. Remember to match not just the white, but the non-white side colors, too, like in the picture.

 

Step 2: The Last Layer

Go to Steps 4 and 5 of “How to Solve a 3×3”, but ignore sections and algorithms dealing with edges. (In other words, you just need R U Ri U R U2 Ri to get all the yellow on top, and Ri F Ri B2 R Fi Ri B2 R2 Ui to solve the cube.)

And you’re done!
