i can not thank you enough man. i have been trying to do this for so long but the idea of bookends and opposing headlights just made things so much easier. you earned a sub
It's important to note that everyone recognized these cases a little differently depending on the person. For example, I recognize 10:50 as an "H perm but the last sticker is wrong". The wrong sticker tells which side the block is.
That's a really good tutorial! I learned 2-sided recognition without actually paying attention to corner permutation, and it's something I learned later. Great that you explain that. For beginners, just knowing where the headlights are can help to AUF correctly and then recognize the case. 4:38 - A vs Ga/Gc vs R: I recognize R by 5-checker, Ga/Gc by 4-checker, and A by "no checker" or "wrong checker". 5:35 - A vs Gb/Gd: 2 colors (other than bookends) = Gb/Gd, 3 colors = A. In fact, for this case - block + bookend, I recognize it like this: 2 colors between the bookends, the outer colors are opposite = Gb/Gd, adjacent = R; 3 colors with an opposite color next to the block (opposite headlights) = A, adjacent color next to the block = T. 6:13: I recognize E perm by the 5-sticker pattern, like blue-red-green-red-blue. 13:53: R perms have adjacent color between the headlights, and T perm has opposite color. Basically, whenever I see headlights, I first notice whether the sticker between them is opposite (Gb, Gd, T) or adjacent (A, Ga, Gc, R), then I figure out the rest.
This is honestly one of the most useful cubing tutorials I have ever seen! Thank you so so much. I'm so happy that you website is online again. Thanks for all of your hard work!
I made a little course in Memrise for this with pictures so you could learn them one by one and drill them with the "Speed Review" mode. What would be better though is if there was something like the Memrise Speed Review mode but where you actually use a smart cube to recognize and solve the cases. The idea would be to solve the cases without looking at the cube but only at the image of the case that comes on screen. The app would reset the cube internally after each solve so you wouldn't have to worry about looking at your actual cube. The idea is to ignore the actual state of your physical cube and simply do the moves to solve the state that's onscreen. This way you can drill recognition quickly without interruption. Of course, that method would be great for literally any aspect of solving the cube. If I could code I would've done such a thing by now. Tau Yu has something similar to what I'm describing but it doesn't work with all smart cubes. It would be SO effective and SO useful for soeedcube practice. I don't know why no one's done it yet. Cubeast is compatible with all smart cubes so what gives?
Omg!!! What an awesome video 😎 I'm almost done learning PLL and I was looking for a video to learn AUF until I saw this video 👍🏻 it is very useful, thanks 😎
Hey man, I appreciate the tutorials, very helpful and the site is brilliant for a bunch of puzzles. I think i see a mistake on one thing though. your video "Edge Orientation (EO) LL" the part "(1,0)/(-3,-1)/(1,1)" I think is a -4 not a -3. I was stuck on this for ages wondering what I was doing wrong, but it's just a notation off, lol.
Nice video thank you! I think it would be better if you grouped the content by similar recognition scenarios and focused on the differences, rather than grouping by the perms themselves. I am jumping back and forth a lot between the A G R and T perms (most difficult recognition IMO).
2 side PLL recognition question. Guys I have observed something interesting that has not been addressed by Sarah Strong/Joseph Skyler etc. the R, G and V PLLs all share a 2 block and an attaching 3 piece chequerboard pattern. At the end of the 3 chequerboard pattern there are 3 options. Bookends and 1) a pair of opposites - G perm 2) a pair of adjacent colors - R perm or no bookends - V perm. I think it’s a fast recognition technique, Any downsides that I'm missing?
Bookends - 2 opposites imply headlights on opposite side No Headlights and No Bookends - Imply no E,V,N or Y perm *_A-Perm-_* 2:52 2x2 Block *2x2 visible and headlights-* Alternating colours at Headlights
This is literally the best PLL recognition tutorial on RUclips
yeah the best
Hands down the best pll recognition tutorial on the Internet!!
i can not thank you enough man. i have been trying to do this for so long but the idea of bookends and opposing headlights just made things so much easier. you earned a sub
Thank you so much! Really appreciated!
How does this not have more views? Every cuber should watch this at least a dozen times. 🤣
Great breakdown.
Always awesome stuff Gil!

VERY WELL EXPLAINED, NO BETTER TUTORIAL THAT I KNOW IS ON YT BETTER THAN THIS. Thank you!!!
i never seen a so good pll recognition Video on yt i searched so much
Despues de meses buscando, este es el mejor video de reconocimiento de PLL que existe en RUclips!!!! Sin duda...Muchas gracias.

That is fantastic addendum, thank you very much.
Super excited for this very clearly explained reference!
I was looking for this for a long time and this video was beyond my expectations. Such an amazing tutorial
Very helpful and clear guide, thank you!
This is honestly one of the most useful cubing tutorials I have ever seen!
Thank you so so much. I'm so happy that you website is online again.
Thanks for all of your hard work!
This is a super helpful recognition post. The visuals make it easier to understand and retain. Thank you so much.
Thanks for coming back
Incredible video! Very detailed
What a video!! Amazing stuff!
Yea it’s a year old, but this video might still be getting used in ten years. Thanks so much! This made learning two side recognition so much easier!
I've watched the top PLL recognition videos and this one is the best existing. Thank you so much!
I've also made an Anki deck from it.
The best !
You explained it so well. Pure amazing work, thanks for the dedication !

This is such a good tutorial. Finally i can differentiate between A Perms and G Perms. Thank you 😁🙂
thank you for this tutorial, I really appreciate the pace order and detail
i was struggling to learn this until i saw this video and i like how in detail you go into this it was very helpful
your the goat of cubing❤
Omg!!! What an awesome video 😎 I'm almost done learning PLL and I was looking for a video to learn AUF until I saw this video 👍🏻 it is very useful, thanks 😎
absolutely fantastic video, especially along with the trainer linked in the description. this might actually make me sub-9
Superb explanation
AMAZING video, love it, thanks
very informative, ty ;)
Amazing tutorial ❤
Amazing!!! Thank you so much

4:56 gb perm has opposition stickers
do you have a tutorial for all the perm??
THIS HELPED SOOO MUCH!
Thanks for the video
Nice!
Fantastic tutorial, I average 9.5 but dont know 2 sided PLL recognition(probably know 60% of plls recog)
how are the grouping classification of plls helpful? Corners only, edges only etc??
Nice video thank you! I think it would be better if you grouped the content by similar recognition scenarios and focused on the differences, rather than grouping by the perms themselves. I am jumping back and forth a lot between the A G R and T perms (most difficult recognition IMO).

let's goo
Maybe this will extra help for becoming sub 10
Bookends - 2 opposites imply headlights on opposite side
No Headlights and No Bookends - Imply no E,V,N or Y perm
*_A-Perm-_* 2:52
2x2 Block
*2x2 visible and headlights-*
Alternating colours at Headlights
Bookends- the corners of the bookends are sane colour
Headlights and nothing- back corner end edge are opposite
2x2 and nothing-
corner and edge are opposite
E-Perm
No headlights
No bookends
3 in a row checkboard pattern (corner,corner, edge)
