Move 1 of 3: R2

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: B F; R: R L; B: F B; L: L R. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

Execute the algorithm

R2 F2 R2

The opening is R2 F2 R2; the final segment is R2 F2 R2. This version contains 3 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
