Around eight years ago I discovered a message on the SpeedsolvingRubiksCube Yahoo! Group. In 2003, Ryan Heise proposed an idea where you “orient all edges right at the beginning” then “create a line on the D side from front to back (or a cross if you wish)”. This is around three years before Zbigniew Zborowski showed his method. I then updated Ryan Heise’s SS wiki page to add that idea and other ideas of his. I recently remembered this and decided to update the ZZ wiki page to reflect that Ryan Heise was the first known person to propose the method. A discussion started on the wiki page about what should be done. Should the name be changed to something more of a general description of the method, as in CFOP? Should the name stay the same? @ProStar pointed out that a name change could go either way in the community. Fridrich was eventually changed to CFOP due to the fact that many people had claimed independent development. But there is also the case of Ortega versus Varasano. The name Varasano hasn’t yet caught on.
Below is Ryan Heise's message. Note that Ryan Heise is saying that his idea is to orient all edges on the cube and place DF and DB (EOLine) or to even make EOCross. He then references a video where someone using CFOP coincidentally had all of their F2L edges oriented, but the LL edges weren’t oriented. This meant that they only had to turn L, U, and R to finish F2L. Ryan Heise references this video to provide an example of the RUL solving, not to say only to orient the F2L edges. His idea is the same as ZZ, to orient all edges.
What does everyone think?
