7.10 Solve the final four dedges |
||
| 7.10.1a Other edge is in the FL position | Do nothing - the dedge is solved | |

7.13 Fixing orientation parity |
||
| 7.13.1 The FU edge needs to be flipped - leaves corners unchanged | Use one of these | |
 |
|
|
| 7.13.2 The FU edge needs to be flipped - corners are altered | ||
