More detail

  1. Layers 1 and 2 are done. OLL makes the whole top yellow, in 2 parts. This part looks only at the 4 top edges; ignore the corners.
  2. Count the edges with yellow on top: 2 in a row (line), 2 at a right angle (), or none (dot).
  3. Turn to match: the line left to right, the at the back left. Then do that picture’s formula.
  • The the right way: the two yellow edges at the back and left, like a clock at nine.
