OBL: An Intuitive Guide
An explanation of OBL from a user's perspective.
Left Cut / Right Cut
Recognition Tips
Bad cuts; aligning birds breaks squareshape.
Algorithms
Best Alg: 1,0/-4,2/-3,0/4,1/3,0/2,-1/0,1
Preserve bird on bottom, send whale from top to form matching axe/axe; doing CO into 3E/3E is also decent.
Color Mirror Algs
This case is its own color mirror; use best alg above.

Mirrors
Left/Right Mirror:
When both the top and bottom face are swapped with their respective left/right mirrors.
Pseudo Mirrors:
When only one face is left/right mirrored. Not a real mirror, but it looks like one; don't be tricked!
