Six EG1 cases with no yellow corners and one yellow pair on a side.
Goal
The white face on the bottom is done and the bottom layer has two adjacent corners swapped (EG1). The top is the shape. One algorithm solves the whole cube.
How to recognize it
First look at the bottom row of the four sides. EG1 has exactly one side with a matching pair. No side means EG2; all four mean CLL.
Then look at the top row of the four sides, as in . Each case has the same top layer as the CLL case with the same number. Words used here:
- (or left, right, back): the non-yellow top sticker on that side. On a side with two non-yellow stickers, call them front and rear (or left and right).
- : a side's two top stickers have the same color.
- : red and orange, green and blue. Two different colors that are not opposite are .
Put the yellow pair on the left. Look at the two right stickers: a matching pair, opposite or neighboring colors. Then compare the front and back stickers.
How to hold the cube
White on the bottom. Hold the top like the CLL lesson with the same shape, shown under the controls. Then turn D so the bottom matching pair is on the back.
The algorithm only works with that pair on the back. The player adds a U at the start or end when needed.
The main idea
Pi 2 is the shortest here, just 7 moves. Pi 1 has an alternative with a y' in the middle, if you like rotations.
