	~~==Solving the Bottom Layer==~~

	~~The 2x2 has a few patterns that can be applied from larger cubes, starting with the bottom.~~

	In the process of solving the 3x3 using the beginners method, you start by solving the cross on the bottom, and then by moving the corners into place. The moves that help with moving the corners into place are useful in forming the bottom 4 cubies of the pocket cube - you basically have a cross-less cross.

	~~So, solving the bottom layer of the 2x2 is largely intuitive.~~

	~~The~~ solution ~~procedure~~ is ~~basically:~~		A full solution method/technique is described on the [[Pocket Cube/Solution Method]] page.
	* Solve the ~~bottom layer (bottom 4 cubies)~~
	* Get one corner piece's colors correct (mis-oriented ok)
	* Get second corner piece's colors correct (mis-oriented ok)
	* If only 2 pieces have colors oriented correctly, use algorithm to swap two other pieces
	* Use algorithm to re-orient the positions (basically, same as final step of 3x3)
