How to recognise it

Corner in the slot with white facing you; the edge is on the right of the top layer, its side sticker matching the right centre.

Its inverse is another case

Do the 27 algorithm backwards, R U R' U' R U R', and you are solving 30.

That's why CubeDojo never scrambles 27 that way: it builds a random state with the case fixed, so you practise 27 and not 30.
