Now we're gonna go ahead and look at the other five OLLs that are not Little Fish
or Big Fish and then also look at their 3x3 equivalent, so if you look at the
corner stickers you'll see all of these are the same. Now many of the algs we
do exactly the same for the 3x3 as the 2x2
but a few of them there's some shortcuts for the 2x2 because we don't have to
worry about mixing up the edge pieces. So real quick just to name them this is
Double Fish, No Fish, Bug Eyes, Chameleon, Chameleon's Ugly
Brother. Okay for Double Fish we're gonna learn a more efficient method that works
on the 3x3 then apply it to this and then we're gonna learn a special method
that's much faster that only works on the 2x2. So when we do Double Fish we
perform Little Fish twice but we have a lot of wasted moves namely this U U
Right Prime Right and U. So that's a lot of movement just to get right here
So what we're gonna do is just eliminate those two Us, Right Prime and Right and
the other U. Whether you can see that or not, that is Little Fish twice just
minus the unnecessary moves. So on here
So that's a much more efficient way to do it but we're gonna learn a much
faster method. Okay the two-by-two algorithm works on
this cube but not the 3x3 because it will mess up these edge pieces we don't
have edges to worry about but we have to hold it a little bit differently, we have
to put the two corners forming a Bar facing us and to the back and then
perform R2 U2 R U2 R2 and they're solved. We just have to remember
that we hold it differently than we do on the 3x3 cube. The reason that won't
work on the 3x3 cube is because it'll mess up the edges. So you can see we have
all four corners up but we've messed up our edges
okay so now to perform No Fish we'll do it on a 3x3 cube first
notice on this move we start by doing a double layer front turn then a single
layer front turn. on the 2x2 we don't have a middle layer so we can't do
a double layer turn so we just do the move and then we turn around and do it
again as you can see there's a few wasteful steps in there that we will
eliminate. There's no need to do the Front Prime, Front so what we'll do is
eliminate the unnecessary turns and shorten it to this. That's easy to
practice to setup you just do the same move turn the top 180 same thing to
solve it next we have bug-eyes which for me is the most difficult oh ll for the
3x3 and it's even more difficult on the 2x2 but luckily there's an easy shortcut
so first I'll teach the 3x3 method
that solves it that's a little difficult to do on here just because it's so small
that gets all the yellows on top but the simple yellow cross algorithm that we
learned for the 3x3 actually solves bug eyes on the 2x2 and to set it up you
just do the algorithm again front right up right prime up prime front prime move
the top and then F R u R prime u prime F Prime
so that's probably the easiest one you'll do and again the reason that
doesn't work on the 3x3 is because of the edge pieces so here we have all the
corners up but not our ages close but no cigar next we have chameleon which gets
its name because somebody thought it looked like a chameleon with the eyes on
the side the algorithm I'm going to use is exactly the same for the 3 by 3 and
the 2 by 2 this one's going to look a little more difficult than it really is
but again we're going to combine steps
so even though that's a turns we're going to make it 4 steps 1 2 3 4 and for
this 1 2 3 4
performing the algorithm twice sets it up if you do it once that makes what we
call communities ugly brother we named that because performing chameleon makes
it plus the eyes are all fugly we perform chameleon again that makes
chameleons and then we can solve it I don't know of a better way to do that on
the 2x2 so now for chameleons ugly brother will just perform chameleon we
turn this sticker to the back hold it like this and that's chameleons ugly
brother the method to solve this is real similar again working from we're going
to combine moves into four steps
salt on this cube and then when we perform chameleons ugly brother
it actually makes chameleons so that's a quick and easy way to practice
I do chameleon again that makes chameleons ugly brother do that solves
it - chameleon exactly brother algorithm
and it makes chameleons so you can get pretty quick just by repetitively
practicing this ok so with all the yellows facing up and if I perform
chameleon it makes chameleons ugly brother
she's rotated hold it properly and then perform that algorithm it's Alden now if
I perform chameleons ugly brother again it makes chameleons now if I do
chameleon again it makes chameleons ugly brother
okay so now that we've learned chameleon and chameleons ugly brother let's look
at this where there's no two corners the same forming a bar so one method we
learned was to just do the algorithm twice find two corners put them to the
back and then do it again another method that's just a few moves quicker is to
perform chameleons ugly brother then chameleons and that fixes them all so if
you don't know chameleon or chameleons ugly brother it's not worth learning it
just for this just go ahead and do this twice but if you already know it for the
3x3 then it is worth it all right so we don't have any two corners the same
doesn't matter how you hold it you'll always have to sobbed corners and then
two unsolved and the way you position it when you do this is they're relevant so
you perform chameleons ugly brother algorithm and then immediately the
chameleon algorithm and now all your corners will be fixed on the 3x3 you'll
have to do your edges but on the 2x2 you're finished
okay so now just to get a little bit better understanding what we're actually
doing when we shuffle corners when we find two the same and we put them to the
back we're not actually just swapping these two you can't only swap two pieces
you have to move three so this one will move here this one will move here and
this one will move here so if you watch that this green this green red will not
stay in that same location this is the red side and then see the Reds are over
here because they shuffled so for example if we hold it like this this is
the only piece that will not move so if we like we can line it up here just for
demonstration purposes and then watch that this will move over here which will
be correct this will move here which will be correct and then this will move
here which will be correct that one stayed the other three moved it can be a
little deceiving and you think these two just train
okay we're going to go over some different methods to insert pieces into
the first layer we can do the beginner method of slapping the white side we can
move this out of the way bring the empty slot up and back the piece in we can
just rotate down insert right here but before doing so move this out of the way
move it down and then move that back alternatively we could just move it down
move this out of the way bring it back and move that back if we have an up they
sing sticker that needs to go here and this one is not solved we can just move
it back here and rotate it 180 degrees when we've just got one more to go in
the bottom layer and we see it here on the back and the empty slots on the back
instead of rotating the whole cube in your hand just go ahead and do a back
insert okay so if you have any questions just ask in the comments be sure to
check out our 3x3 tutorial and if there's anything else you'd like to see
a video on just let me know in the comments
in the video if you notice these cubes sound a little different this one has
been oiled with silicon oil but it leaks out a little bit and gets on my hands so
when I bought some extras for this video I just left them dry. I probably should
have oiled them though that sounds pretty annoying and it is it's a lot
more catchy and a little harder to solve a little bit of oil goes a long way. This
Rubik's Brand Speed Cube actually feels pretty good out of the
box but it actually feels a lot better than this out of the box but we need a
little bit of oil on it.
you can actually make a two-by-two trainer just by peeling stickers off a
budget 3x3 this is when we built back in 2008
as a trainer and then these I just purchased recently for this video so
here's a trainer with no centers here's one with centers if you have a hard time
remembering your colors or what not game but just go ahead and take a little time
to memorize it it's not difficult blue orange green red bogger blue orange
