Overview Step 1 Step 2 [Step 3]

Step 3: Permute top and bottom corners within their layer (5 algos)


After step 2, we have orange on top face and red on bottom face. In this step, we will permute cubies within their layer. To achieve this goal, we will look for pairs of correct cubies which will be represented by 2 black stickers. A pair of correct cubies have the same side color (the black stickers represent stickers of the same color). Arrows shows which cubies need to be permuted.
There is only 5 possible patterns, you may need to invert top and bottom layer to fit a represented pattern.

R²F²R² [1/36] (RU'R)F²(R'UR') [8/36] (R²U)(F²U²)(R'²UR'²) [16/36]
F²(U'RU')(R'U)F²(URUR') [2/36] (R²U')(F'²U)R²((F²UF²)U'F²) [8/36]
y²(RU²R'U')(RU²)(L'UR'U'L')
Step average: 7.58 moves

After this, you will probably have to fix top layer by doing U or U' or U².
