PLUS ± MINUS is short for Progressing Level Up System ± Memorizing an Increasing NUmber of Skills
Briefly, this is a collection of three 2x2 methods that build off each other.
http://solvexio.cf/app/#/PLUS_MINUS
Each of the three levels of "PLUS ± MINUS" ...
is an independent 3-step method for solving the 2x2 pocket cube
builds up a progression of skills for that level and subsequent levels
increases in difficulty with more algorithms, but has a decrease in the number of moves needed
includes a Bonus Skill that can improve the current level and is used in the next level
Level 1 is for folks that are brand new to a cube and they can expect around 80 moves to solve it using 2.5 algs
Level 2 is for Experienced cubers (those who know a 3x3 beginner method) and will use around 40 moves using only 5 algs
Level 3 is for Proficient solvers of a 3x3 but want to solve a 2x2 quickly, they can expect around 20 moves using just 10 algs
Each level doubles the number of algs to learn, but reduces the expected number of moves to half the previous level!
Please check it out and let me know what you think, keeping in mind the intended audiences of each level.
Thanks!

P.S.
I put this together because I didn’t find a 2x2 method for absolute beginners that I thought was simple enough, while others with 1 alg seemed too repetitive.
Basically I didn't like "Go learn ortega/varasano" or "Use this one algorithm a bajillion times".
Some other methods with 2-3 algorithms could be daunting to a beginner since they are long algs and the methods typically require too much intuition at the beginning.
So PLUS ± MINUS is here to fill the gap. It's more than a single method, it's a technique to learn incremental methods in order to go from beginner to sub 10!
