Note: On a V perm, both the

the 3 block will be of opposite
color.)

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

[R U R' F'] "T"ransformers character
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.

U2 (L' U R')} U corner that lies behind the opp
