Permute Last-Layer (PLL):
Permuting the oriented last layer is the last step in solving a 3x3x3 rubik's cube using fridrich method. It should be done with lightning speed. It only requires 21 algorithms, all are fast triggers.However, each algorithm is longer than in OLL and often involve tricky
finger-tricks. Go as fast as you possibly can on PLL. Your initial goal
should be sub-2.5 sec for 1 execution (sub-10 for 4 consecutive
executions) for each pattern.
In learning pll algs., start with two-step PLL, which is a subset of the complete PLL.
There are two algorithms for corners (n3 and n15) and four for edges
(n1, n2, n5, n6). Learn n4, the reflection of n3.
Of the algorithms above, n15, which is used to swap corners across a
diagonal, takes the longest. For this reason, the next PLL cases to
learn are the other cases with a diagonal corner swap: n7, n9, n20, n21.
From here, it's all preference. The intimidating G permutations are
actually not any more difficult to recognize than the other cases.
After matching the corner-edge block, use the method described in the
comment for n16.

That's it. After mastering those steps, you can now be considered as a "CUBE CONQUERER"....
But wait!!
Now that you have conquered the 3x3x3 cube, you may now proceed in a more challenging way of solving it like blindfold solving and one-hand solving. I will also discuss the procedures needed for you to also master those new challenges. Yes, now you have realized that this is only the beginning of your cubing conquest. There is still so much to learn but that's the purpose why I'm here. We'll conquer ALL the other structures of cube puzzles together.
You may now proceed to the next chapter of your cubing conquest. LOL. :-)
