How to recognise it

Corner above the slot with white facing right; the edge is beside it in front but not paired: its top colour is that of the corner's front sticker.

Its inverse is another case

Do the 12 algorithm backwards, R' U' R2 U' R2 U2 R, and you are solving 1.

That's why CubeDojo never scrambles 12 that way: it builds a random state with the case fixed, so you practise 12 and not 1.
