How to recognise it

Corner above the slot with white facing you; the edge is beside it in front and their top colours match.

Its inverse is another case

Do the 15 algorithm backwards, R U' R' U2 F' U' F, and you are solving 16.

That's why CubeDojo never scrambles 15 that way: it builds a random state with the case fixed, so you practise 15 and not 16.
