How to recognise it

White on top, corner above the slot; the edge is beside it on the right, its top colour matching the corner's right sticker.

Its inverse is another case

Do the 17 algorithm backwards, R U' R' U R U2 R', and you are solving 1.

That's why CubeDojo never scrambles 17 that way: it builds a random state with the case fixed, so you practise 17 and not 1.
