I was one of the earlier members to join the speedsolving.com forums, which wasn’t even called that at the time. I was around 36s at the time, and not thinking that I would use the account very much, I hastily joined using the name “Me!” (the exclamation mark was taken off after the forum switched servers.)
Anyway, the gem that the title refers to, I was rooting around and I found this: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=375
The third post is the “gem”, yessir, takes me back.

So here’s what I find out: I get better times when I can establish a 2x2x2 block in the corner. So you think: oh Petrus, cool you should try / use it.
Here’s the contradicting statement though, I only have enough brain power right now to plan the 2x2x2 block, and only just enough. This means that anything beyond that, the other two first layer edges, and the three other slots, is entirely intuitive. I basically have to spot and insert, then go from there!
Oddly enough it has been working kind of well. It’s very flexible at this point, while I start off by solving the 2x2x2 block on the Blue-Orange-White side, if I so happen to insert the next slot before the edge, then it’s a 2x2x3 block. From there I can decide which the edge will be placed into the first layer, and ultimately which color the LL is. It’s all very strange, and no doubt sounds all too much like Petrus, people have said that I use Petrus in many of my 3×3 videos, even though I’m using nothing close to it.
But dont celebrate yet, I’ll have to try this system out more, a lot more before I can deduce if it is actually faster or not. I’ll see if I can capture a Sunday Contest average with it this weekend. Until next time, keep cubing!

ZOMBO. This website is perhaps the most useful website I’ve stumbled upon in the last 5 years. I first discovered it in 2004, and it saved me. Just the other day I remembered this site and decided to see if it could help me again, sure enough it did, I could do everything I needed to! I highly recomend that when you need help, you check out Zombo.com, where the unattainable is unknown.
