How to Solve the Rubik's Cube/Petrus The Petrus method is a
method for solving the Rubik's Cube created in 1981 by Lars
Petrus. There are seven steps -- 2x2x2 block, expand to 2x2x3,
twist bad edges, finish first two layers, position last layer
corners, twist last layer corners, and position last layer
edges. Because this method is not Layer-By-Layer, it can be
faster than LBL methods like Fridrich. It has an average move
count of 45-60. This step is intuitive and uses block-building.
Block-building can be hard for a beginner to get used to. Expand
to 2x2x3 This step is also intuitive. Make sure that you don't
break up the 2x2x2 block during this step!Last modified on 7
