How to recognise it

A yellow 2×2 square on top. Hold it at front right: the front side shows no yellow.

Its inverse is another case

Do the 5 algorithm backwards, r' U' R U' R' U2 r, and you are solving 8.

That's why CubeDojo never scrambles 5 that way: it builds a random state with the case fixed, so you practise 5 and not 8.
