OBL: An Intuitive Guide

An explanation of OBL from a user's perspective.


Left Whale / Right Whale

Faces: Left Whale / Right Whale


Recognition Tips

Bad whales; whales are mirrors of each other.

Algorithms

Best Alg: 1,0/3,0/2,-1/-3,0/0,1

Swap top whale head, held against slice with tail in UL, with full bottom whale in DR.

Color Mirror Algs

Use best alg canceled with /6,6/ at the end.

Other Algs

  • 4,0/-3,0/-1,2/3,0/0,1
  • 3,-1/3,0/-2,1/-3,0/-1,0
  • 3,-1/3,0/-3,0/-2,1/-1,0



Related Cases

Parent Cases

Relatively useful cases that can be reached in one slice from this case.

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!
