Keep the front

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.

How to do it

  1. Two edges left: put them front left and front right, each middle edge already on its own edge.
  2. See which wing is on the wrong edge: the left top half with the right bottom half is picture 1, the other way round is picture 2. Sometimes you need both, once each.
