Tyson began solving the cube during the Rubik’s Cube’s second boom in 2003, first using a beginner’s method, then the Petrus and Fridrich methods. Tyson is credited for popularizing the “Caltech move” for solving the three diagonal corner permutation in blindfold solving.

Tyson Mao’s unofficial beginner method is a set of 8 videos which can be viewed at Rubiks.com. This method is most famous for being used by Will Smith in a past film The Pursuit of Happyness, that was released in 2006. The method is basically a simplified layer-by-layer approach which works much the same way as the Fridrich method. The difference is that the cross is first built around the opposite side to simplify the permutation foresight required, the first two layers are permuted individually, the last layer requires an algorithm to construct a cross, and then repetition of Lars Petrus’ Sune algorithm to orient, and finally permutation requires the use of two algorithms, one for the corners and one for the edges. These algorithms may have to be executed multiple times.
