Recognition Tips

Bad thumbs; thumbs are mirrors of each other, or making a kite on one face forms tree on the other

Algorithms

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

Keep bottom shell in DL, swap 2 edges on top with isolated corner on bottom to form good birds.

Color Mirror Algs

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

Mirrors

Left/Right Mirror: When both the top and bottom face are swapped with their respective left/right mirrors.
