How to recognise it

Yellow on top: the left and front edges and the two back corners, with headlights on the front side.

Its inverse is another case

Do the 42 algorithm backwards, F U R U' R' F' R' U2 R U R' U R, and you are solving 41.

That's why CubeDojo never scrambles 42 that way: it builds a random state with the case fixed, so you practise 42 and not 41.
