Thistlethwaite method

Information about the method
Proposer(s):	Morwen Thistlethwaite
Proposed:	1981
Alt Names:	none
Variants:	Human Thistlethwaite
No. Steps:	4
No. Algs:	unknown
Avg Moves:	45
Purpose(s):	Computer Algorithm

A computer cube solving algorithm, based on reducing the cube to subgroups.

Reduction to <U,D,L,R,F2,B2>
- Edge Orientation
Reduction to <U,D,L2,R2,F2,B2>
- placement of U/D edges in U/D faces
- Corner Orientation, and placement
Reduction to <U2,D2,L2,R2,F2,B2>
- Corners
- Edges
Final Solve
Permutation of all pieces using only 180 degree faces turns
