A human usable version of the [[Thistlethwaite]] algorithm. The solution is broken down into exactly the same basic steps of the [[Thistlethwaite|computer Thistlethwaite algorithm]], but each step in the human version is broken down into further sub-steps to make it managable for a human solver. The system proceeds as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Reduction to &amp;amp;lt;U,D,L,R,F2,B2&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
#* [[Edge Orientation]]&lt;br /&gt;
# Reduction to &amp;amp;lt;U,D,L2,R2,F2,B2&amp;amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
#* placement of U/D edges in U/D faces&lt;br /&gt;
#* [[Corner Orientation]], and placement&lt;br /&gt;
# Reduction to &amp;amp;lt;U2,D2,L2,R2,F2,B2&amp;amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
#* Corners&lt;br /&gt;
#* Edges&lt;br /&gt;
# Final Solve &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; Permutation of all pieces using only 180 degree faces turns&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Pseudoprogrammer: The 45.7 move average is if one memorizes all of the few hundreds algorithms for the hyperadvanced HTA algorithm.  The method detailed on Ryan&amp;#039;s site and in my YouTube tutorial averages about 100.&lt;/p&gt;
