Step 5:
How To Swap Yellow Edges
In the previous step we created a yellow cross on the top of the Rubik's Cube but probably the yellow edges are not all fitting to the colors of the side center pieces. In this stage of the Rubik's Cube solution we have have to fix this by repositioning these edges.
The algorithm we're going to use switches the front-top and the left-top edges as marked on the image:
Algorithm is:
To make a double face turn, rotate the face twice(180 degrees).
When you get to this stage the first thing you have to do is to rotate around the top layer trying to find two edges which have to be switched. Sometimes it can occur that you can't find two pieces to swap next to each other, because you would have to swap two which are facing each other. In this case you'll have to do U2 after applying algorithm. Like in the case of given picture:
NOTE: Aplly the given algorithm untill you get your edges to there correct positions.
Note:Do not concerntrate on corners. In this tep we have to solve the edges only. Corners will be seen in next step
