So, when solving Ortega, I notice that there is a case that is kind of awkward to fix, the way I do it anyway. Its when you have three pieces of the first side in place and the last piece is also in, but it is twisted clockwise. Can anyone post the most efficient way of fixing this?

Thanks.

EDIT: Sorry, I should have said, the alg I use to fix it at the moment is just hold the twisted piece on FDR and do sexy x4. However, this sacrafices 16 moves which is too many :/

Okay so the corner is on the FRD spot
yF'L'UL
or
FRF'R'
or what everyone else is saying

Much better learn all the OLL skip/stern sun cases for this(~20)

Well, you could always do another side for first layer...

I'll give you the way I do it in FDR.

y R U R' F'.

Since it's Ortega switching the pieces doesn't matter, right?

Mirrored for this case's.... umm.... Mirror.

I think you mean 35.

well the number I said was wrong but..

Guimond has 16 orientation cases.

Don't you have to learn the same cases except use algorithms that keep the twisted corner in the bottom layer?

What have I said wrong?
I will look into Stern Sun.

Edit: I looked on your website. I see where your coming from (7x5=35)

However I meant only the cases in the first column
Cubersmith said that the last piece is twisted but in the correct layer.This means the cases in the other 4 columns aren't needed
I admit I worded it poorly.
