Permute both oriented layers of the 2x2 in the final Ortega stage.

Recognize this starting position

In the inverse-derived training position, the upper-face color points upward at these corner positions: UFR, UFL, UBL, UBR. Reading each side’s top row left to right when facing that side gives F: L L; R: F R; B: B F; L: R B. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

Execute the algorithm

y R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R'

The opening is y R U; the final segment is R2 U' R'. This version contains 13 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
