It is necessary to watch his PLL recognition video & PLL page to clearly understand the contents of this file.

Note: On a V perm, both the

the 3 block will be of opposite

J(b)
[R U R' F'] {[R U R' U'] [R' F] Although J's have 2 more two-
[R2 U' R'] U'} pair blocks, they arent marked
as the 3+1 block is the
recognition feature
J(a)
Notice that the J's have only 1
[R' U L'] [U2 R U' R' U2] [R L U'] opposite color combination.
This helps to distinguish J's
from the N's. N's have 4 such
opp color feature.1 on each face

with a bazooka on each
shoulder
N(b)
{(R' U L') U2 (R U' L)} {(R' U L') N's have 4 distinct 2-pairs
U2 (R U' L)} U' But your clue lies on the sides.
Each side has an opposite
color combination. N(b) has the
opp color on the right
N(a) N(a) has it on the left.
