How To Solve A 2x2 Rubik's Cube In UNDER 1 SECOND

Are you looking for a super easy way to impress people with your Rubik's Cube solving skills? Does learning to solve a regular Rubik's Cube in 5 seconds sound way too hard? In this video, I'm going to teach you how you can still blow people's minds, but with much less effort. I'm going to teach you how to solve a 2x2 Rubik's Cube in less than a second.

[@RedCnMn]

Do you recommend learning CLL over EG ? Because I´m using EG and I´m curious if CLL is better. Obviously for CLL you only need one alg instead of two but the disadvantage is that you have to build one complete layer instead of just a side. And I think the EG algs are a bit shorter than the CLL algs (but I´m not sure)

[@RedCnMn]

@@timeforclock2636 thats actually really smart^^. thx

Optimal step 42 is probably not optimal because you have to go through those 3 million permutations, and find the exact solution, without any mistakes, all under 15 seconds of inspection. So probably going to be probably impossible...
