Tripod Method

Tripod method Information about the method Proposer(s): Ryan Heise,Michael Gottlieb Proposed: 2002 Alt Names: none Variants: Petrus No. Steps: 4 No. Algs: unknown Avg Moves: approx. 55 Purpose(s): Speedsolving

A blockbuilding approach to solving the 3x3x3, first proposed by Ryan Heise and developed by Michael Gottlieb and Mirek Goljan. The final step involves solving a 'tripod' composed of the three 1x1x2 columns connected to the URF corner piece.The steps are as follows-

1. Build a 2x2x2 block. This is an intuitive step.

2.Build 3 1x2x2 block side by side the 2x2x2 block. This is also an intuitive step.

3. Insert the last F2L slot.

4. Finish the last layer using one of 58 algorithms.
