Edge orientation is the 'flip' of an edge. An edge is correctly orientied if when it is moved to its place using the group <U,D,R,L,F2,B2> it is 'flipped' correctly. There will always been an even number of incorrectly oriented cubies.

[edit] How to tell if a cubie is correctly oriented

A cubie on the U/D face

  • If the cubie has a U/D colour, and it is on the U/D face, it is correctly oriented.
  • If the cubie has a F/B/R/L colour, and it is on the U/D face, it is incorrectly oriented.

A cubie on the E ring

  • If the cubie has a U/D colour, and it is on the R/L face, it is correctly oriented.
  • If the cubie has a F/B/R/L colour, and the colour is the same colour or opposite colour of the center, it is correctly oriented.
