Step 5: Yellow corners
Youtube video starting on 15:42
Now we have to complete the yellow side. Depending on the pattern of the yellow side, you need to act slightly differently:
- For initial pattern variant 1, Goto 5a
- For initial pattern variant 2, Goto 5b
- For initial pattern variant 3, Goto 5c
- Of you already have the fish-pattern, Goto 5d
Step 5a: Initial pattern variant 1
When the pattern on the yellow side looks like this:
Y = Yellow piece facing us
Then you have to do this:
- Make sure that there is one yellow piece facing us (Y)
- Apply moveset:
R U
R' U
R U2
R' - After that, you should have the fish, Goto 5d
Step 5b: Initial pattern variant 2
When the pattern on the yellow side looks like this:
Then you have to do this:
- Apply moveset:
R U
R' U
R U2
R' - After that, you should have the fish, Goto 5d
Step 5c: Initial pattern variant 3
When the pattern on the yellow side looks like this:
Then you have to do this:
- Apply moveset:
R U
R' U
R U2
R' - After that, you should have the fish, Goto 5d
Step 5d: Fish pattern
Now you should have a fish pattern on the yellow side, with the head on bottom-left, and the tail on top-right like this:
FT = Fish tail
FH = Fish head
The Fish head (FH) must always be in the bottom-left corner, and the fish tail (FT) must always be in the top-right corner. The next step is to make sure that there is a yellow piece in the top row of the facing side, like this:
FT = Fish tail
FH = Fish head
Y = Yellow piece front side
If you don't have the yellow piece on the front side, then do the moveset again:
- Apply moveset:
R U
R' U
R U2
R' - Rotate the Up layer that the fish is aligned correctly and the yellow piece will be at the correct location.
- Apply moveset:
R U
R' U
R U2
R'
Result of step 5
- The white side complete
- The yellow side complete
- On all sides the top two rows (top regarding the white side) are complete with the correct color
