OLL: squares and lightning bolts

Read more

Two squares and six lightning bolts, most using Rw.

Goal

Make the whole top yellow when you see a square or a bolt.

How to recognize it

Square: four yellow stickers make a 2x2 block in one corner. Bolt: two neighboring yellow edges and one yellow corner make a zigzag.

How to hold the cube

White face on the bottom, first two layers done. Each shape's grip is shown under the controls. Turn U to line the shape up.

The main idea

OLL 5, 6, 7 and 8 take only 7 moves and use Rw (the right face with the middle slice). OLL 5 and 6 are squares in two different corners.

Check before moving on

The whole top is yellow, and the first two layers are still done.
