OLLCP
Description
OLLCP is a method for solving the last layer.
Proposer: Masayuki Akimoto, others
Proposed: Early 2000s.
Steps:
- Solve the last layer corners and orient all last layer edges.
- Permute the last layer edges.

Origin
Masayuki Akimoto
The first known mention of OLLCP is in February 2005 [1]. Masayuki Akimoto was in the process of generating the algorithms [2, 3].
Kenneth Gustavsson
In the mid-2000s, Kenneth Gustavsson started working on OLLCP as well [4, 5, 6]. Gustavsson's name for the algorithm set was XCLL.
Thom Barlow
In 2011, Thom Barlow developed a version of OLLCP that uses combinations of short algorithms to solve each case [7, 8].
Name
As seen in the initial proposals, Gustavsson had given the algorithm set the name XCLL. It was around 2010 that the community began calling it OLLCP [9, 10].
