How to recognise it

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

Its inverse is another case

Do the 39 algorithm backwards, L U F' U' L' U L F L', and you are solving 32.

That's why CubeDojo never scrambles 39 that way: it builds a random state with the case fixed, so you practise 39 and not 32.
