Orientate edges

All the edges are in the right position. But RY and YB are wrongly oriented.

The solution requires 2 sledgehammer. Read the details in the points 1 and 2

1)
Move away the cubies RB from its position.

A sledgehammer changes the position of the edges. So if the edges already are in the right place but not correctly oriented Firstly we must move edges to another place and then back to the original place with the correct orientation.

2)
Brings the RB cubie back to its original position.

 


The rule of thumb is very simple: move the correctly oriented cubie (the RB edge) with a sledgehammer that starts with a turn moving it out of its current position For example

Then, perform the sledgehammer starting with to bring it back.

Done!

It might seem odd that simply moving back and forth can alter the orientation of two cubies. The key is that while the second sledgehammer returns to the starting position, it takes a different route along the way.


Flat rotation ' shows a technique with no impact on corner positions.
