OLLCP

Description

OLLCP is a method for solving the last layer.

Proposer: Masayuki Akimoto, others

Proposed: Early 2000s.

Steps:

  1. Solve the last layer corners and orient all last layer edges.
  2. 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].
