(a) At least one
(b) At least two
(c) At least three
(d) All four

Q3: What should you do if two yellow pieces are correctly positioned diagonally across from each other in Step 2?
(a) Hold any piece at the front/right
(b) Rotate the top layer to have only one piece in the correct position
(c) Rotate the bottom layer

True and False

Q1: True or False: In Step 1, we use a 4-move sequence to solve the entire white layer.

Q2: True or False: In Step 2, if no pieces are correctly positioned, you should rotate the bottom layer until you have all pieces in the correct position.

Q3: True or False: Step 1 of solving the 2x2 Rubik's Cube involves using a 5-move sequence.

Q4: True or False: In Step 2, if two pieces are correctly positioned diagonally across from each other, you can hold any piece at the front/right.

Q5: True or False: In Step 3, you should rotate the entire cube to solve the front/right piece quickly.
