'''Pet5''' was created by Isabel S. It's a big cube method designed to remove OLL Parity, give a shorter edge pairing and 3x3 stage, and limiting cube rotations with minimal sacrifice to other steps.

== The Steps ==

1. Build two opposite centers, similar to Yau. Hold the cube with the centers on the left/right sides.

2. Solve 3 edge pieces and build a block on the left hand side with two corners.

3. Build 3, 1-wide center bars of the bottom, left, and right center colors; place them to build out the lefthand block, and connect them with edge wings. Continue until you've build block half way.
3a. If using an odd layered puzzle, (5x5, 7x7) build the center bar, but don't build with the center edge piece.

4. Build remaining center bars unsorted. Solve and orient 5 more edges.
4a. This method is better suited for solving edges on the M slice, but either option works. If you want to solve edges on the E slice, reorient the cube
4b. It's recommended that the last 5 edges solved are the left/right hand edges. (top/bottom if solving on e slice)

5. Orient remaining edges, and finish the block.

6. Solve F2L, then use COLL and EPLL for last layer. PLL parity should be included for EPLL when solving even layered puzzles

== Pros ==

* Start 3x3 stage with [[edge orientation]] and a 2x2x3 [[Petrus]] block formed.

* Designed with 6x6 and 7x7 in mind

* Also prevents OLL parity on even layered puzzles

== Cons ==

* Solving the Petrus block is a less efficient way to solve centers.

* Reorienting cube when solving on E slice requires awkward cube rotations.

* Orienting final edges isn't that effecient move wise.

5. Solve F2L, then use COLL and EPLL for last layer. PLL parity should be included for EPLL when solving even layered puzzles

== Pros ==

* Start 3x3 stage with [[edge orientation]] and a 2x2x3 [[Petrus]] block formed.

* Designed with 6x6 and 7x7 in mind

* Also prevents OLL parity on even layered puzzles

== Cons ==

* Solving the Petrus block is a less efficient way to solve centers
* Edge pairing sometimes will often lead FD and parts of BL/BR to have edge pieces, leading to extra lookahead

== Petrus variations ==

There are several other [[substep]]s that can be used [[WV]], [[COLL]], and [[ZBLL]] which completes the entire last layer in a single algorithm.

'''Just Use Petrus''', or JUP for short, was created by Will Schmidt. It was designed with cubes like the 6x6 and 7x7 in mind, and is not suited for 4x4.

== The Steps ==

1. Build two opposite centers

2. Solve three half centers connected with partial edges

3. Solve three edges and two corners, forming a block

4. Solve remaining center pieces with bars, ignoring color

5. Solve five more edges with [[edge orientation]], using the unsolved face to allow more flexibility when solving edges.

6. Finish the centers while pairing the remaining edge wings, forming a Petrus block, and finish the last two edges

7. Solve F2L, then use COLL and EPLL for last layer. PLL parity is included for EPLL

== Pros ==

* Start 3x3 stage with [[edge orientation]] and a 2x2x3 [[Petrus]] block formed.

* Designed with 6x6 and 7x7 in mind

* Also prevents OLL parity on even layered puzzles

== Cons ==

* Solving the Petrus block is a less efficient way to solve centers
* Edge pairing sometimes will often lead FD and parts of BL/BR to have edge pieces, leading to extra lookahead

== Petrus variations ==
