Rubik's Cube Solve - Petrus Method - 28 Seconds

check out http://www.lubixcube.com for speed cubing silicone lubricant!

A solve using a hybrid (i.e. lazy) version of the Petrus Method. I skip edge orientation during the F2L and instead orient edges once I'm at the top layer. I do this because once I'm at the top layer, I can see the moves quickly, where as orienting edges during my build takes me forever to see. So it's a time lost vs time saved trade off.

My top layer order is Orient Edges, Orient Corners, Permute Corners, Permute Edges. So I do OE - OC - PC - PE

My average solve is just now hitting 38 seconds. My fastest solve is 20.8

The cube is a Sheng En (Type F I believe). I prefer the white cube over the black. The stickers are from cubesmith.com. They are the stock Rubik's cube colors. (the minus yellow color configuration)

I just recently replaced my cube smith stickers with the tiles they sell. The tiles tore the hell out of my fingers at first, so I grabbed a file and rounded the sharp edges of the tiles. Now my cubes are nearly perfect.

I still have a ton to learn about cubing, and can see with what I know now, doing consistent 30 second solves, but can not see getting in the 20's consistently without learning more. While learning more on the top layer will help, I think the F2L is where I can shave off more time.

Thanks for watching!

Woot. Just hit a personal best of 19.44 last night. Gunna check with the coffee shop and see if the security cameras caught it lol.

Just finished learning all 21 PLL algorithms, so will be putting together a tutorial on how I identify and solve each possibility.

Personal best is still a 20.6, and had my average a few days ago to 28 seconds. But over a long enough average I think I'm still at like 32 or so seconds.

I've just started to do the orientation step while.on the last side of f2l, and it will take me some time to orient faster... But still learning!

Yea, I think I can do that. I've counted that it takes me no more than 15 piece placements to solve using petrus. Often I can see different ways to pair those placements, and can shave several moves off each solve because of the flexability of the method. I'll start working on a 1st person tutorial for ya soon. Stay posted!

GO PETRUS! Even though I suck at it :(

[mrhandy100]

@cubedude1995 petrus is slower and to me its harder to learn

[cubedude1995]

dang dude wat kind of hybrid cube do u hav it looks fast hey is petris easier to use then the FRidrich method ? cuz i use Fridrich im about 2 check out the petris method though

[JL2996]

Glad to see someone using Petrus!

[demierre]

wow and I thought my 60 sec was pretty decent =)

[hansel6700]

can u show us the steps of the petrus method?

[number1cubs17]

Nice man, i'll bet your get even faster.
