Nautilus

Overview

The roots of this method go back to my first method that can be seen here. For that method I consistently found that the DR edge caused problems for ergonomics. So for some of the variants of that method, I solved the DR edge as part of the first step. This left only the LL and dFr to be solved. This was much easier to work with so I decided to branch it off as its own method. This method has great ergonomics, perfect lookahead with no blindspots after the primary shape is formed, a low move-count, is good for both 2H and OH, has a lot of room for advancements, and, most of all, is fun.

Nautilus was originally proposed in 2006. Why is it called Nautilus? Check out the logo at the top of the site. The order of FB, 2x2, then the unsolved front pieces all viewed from below look like the golden rectangle with the Fibonacci spiral which is often placed over images of Nautilus shells as one example of how the pattern applies to many things in the universe.
