How to recognise it

Headlights with the opposite colour between them: hold them on the left. The only block is the right edge with the front-right corner.

Its inverse is another case

Do the Gd algorithm backwards, D R2 U' R U' R U R' U R2 D' U R U' R', and you are solving Gc.

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