Origin and Development​

In June, 2012, Michael James Straughan developed the LEG-1 method [1]. Instead of having the correctly permuted bar in the back as in EG-1, Straughan chose to have the bar on the left. All algorithms were developed and placed on Straughan's website [2]. This development coincided with the development of NMCLL and NMEG.

In March, 2014, Christopher Olson developed the same idea [3], not knowing that the method already existed and had been developed by Straughan. Olson named the method LEG-1.
