OLL (Orientation of the Last Layer) solves the top face of the cube after solving the bottom face. After this, PBL is used to solve the cube. This is part of the Ortega method.

Three variants of these algorithms are given depending on how they affect the rest of the cube. The parts of algorithms are grouped together for easier memorization and visual distinction.

After solving the first face of the cube you can proceed with the following OLL and PBL steps.

In this video, I show you the optimal algorithms and finger tricks to solve all seven 2x2 OLL cases.

There are twelve algorithms for this method. You may be familiar with some of the twelve algorithms in this method, as they are also used to solve the 3x3 Rubik’s Cube's final layer.

It is recommended to learn the algorithms in the order presented.

Ortega is an intermediate level of solving a 2x2. PBL algorithms are used to permute both layers simultaneously after the 2nd layer is orientated using the Ortega OLL algorithms.
