I always forget these algorithms after a while of not doing it, so I thought I'd write them down.

- Solving the white face
	- No algorithms
- Solving the middle layer
	- Move top to the left: U' L' U L U F U' F'
	- Move top to the right: U R U' R' U' F' U F
- Solving the yellow face
	- Dot to line to L to cross: F U R U' R' F'
	- Cross to full: R U R' U R U2 R'
	- Align the corners: R' F R' B2 R F' R' B2
	- Move the middles around clockwise: F2 U L R' F2 L' R U F2
	- Move the middles around anticlockwise: F2 U' L R' F2 L' R U' F2
