Step 5 of 6
Top: the yellow face
What you should end up with
The whole top face is yellow. There are no bad edges left, so the yellow cross is already there and only the corners remain: 7 formulas.
How to do it
- The yellow cross is already there: all the edges have been good from the start. So go straight to the corners.
- Count the yellow corners on top, find your case and turn the top as shown.

Tips
›Petrus himself solved the top differently: first placing the corners, then twisting them with Sune, and the edges last. The order here is as in CFOP, which makes the full sets easier to move on to.
