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):

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

Steps

  1. Reduction to <U,D,L,R,F2,B2>
  2. Reduction to <U,D,L2,R2,F2,B2>
  3. Reduction to <U2,D2,L2,R2,F2,B2>
    • Corners
    • Edges
  4. Final Solve
    Permutation of all pieces using only 180 degree faces turns
