F2L Algorithms (First 2 Layers) : Algorithm Presentation Format

F2L algorithms are presented for solving the first two layers (F2L) of the Rubik's Cube. The document outlines different cases for inserting F2L pairs and provides algorithms to solve each case in a concise, step-by-step notation. Basic insertion algorithms are shown first, followed by algorithms to solve more complex cases like incorrectly connected pieces, edges or corners already in place, and fully solved F2L pairs.
