The seven algorithms of 2-look PLL first — corners, then edges — and then the rest in the order they are worth learning: adjacent swaps, diagonal swaps, G perms last. PLL is where a twenty-second solver finds the easiest seconds.

A coach's programme, three sessions a week. Weeks 1-2 finish 2-look OLL and PLL, weeks 3-4 rebuild F2L without rotations, weeks 5-6 add full PLL, weeks 7-8 add the OLL shape groups. Each week's blocks are marked with a note; do the warm-up plus that week's two blocks and stop.

One case you do not own yet, twenty repetitions, then a short review of what you learned earlier in the week. Slow on paper — but it is the whole of OLL and PLL inside three months, and it never takes more than a quarter of an hour.
