The first two layers, rather F2L, of the Rubik's Cube, can be solved simultaneously rather than individually. This helps in reducing your solve time immensely. This is the second step of the Fridrich method (CFOP). The F2L comes in after you have solved the cross. In the F2L method, a first-layer corner and the middle layer edge are moved at the same time into their designated slots or positions. If you are familiar with the beginner method, step 2 and 3 are combined in the F2L method. When performed perfectly and at a faster pace, you can complete the F2L in less than 10 seconds.
