How to recognise it

A small lightning bolt: the back and right edges with the back-left corner. The front-left corner's yellow faces you.

Its inverse is another case

Do the 12 algorithm backwards, r R' U R' U2 R U R' U R M, and you are solving 5.

That's why CubeDojo never scrambles 12 that way: it builds a random state with the case fixed, so you practise 12 and not 5.
