More detail

  1. White layer at the bottom, yellow on top. Count the corners with yellow facing up: 0, 1 or 2.
  2. See which faces the other yellow stickers are on (front, right, left), pick the matching picture and turn to match it exactly. In the pictures, the corners that need twisting have a yellow ring.
  3. Do the formula with the turns between rounds exactly as pictured. Compare again after each round if not done.

Which case do you have?

Before you compare and all through the formula: keep the front (the face marked FACING YOU in the pictures) turned towards you. A picture marked BACK, AWAY FROM YOU looks from behind: do not turn the cube, just tilt it to see the back.
