If Y3 is correct- CD,2L,CU,2R 
If the bottom of Z5 is correct- CU,CU,2L,CU,CU,2L
If X5 is correct- CD,YL,CU,YL,YL,CD,2L,CU,2R
If Y7 is correct- CU,2L,CD,2R

2. 2nd Row
1. Turn cube upside down so 1st side is on bottom
2. Turn cube so B2 is correct on all sides
3. A2 Fix - B1 to A2 *Note: Look at X2 first, that will replace other side of A2- 1R,AU,1L,AD,1L,XR,1R,XL 
4. C2 Fix -B1 to C2 *Note- Look at X2 first, that will replace X5- 1L,CU,1R,CD, 1R, XL,1L,XR 
Note: You may need to move an A2 or C2 to B1 so it can be moved to the correct side
Key:
1R- Turn Row 1 Right
1L- Turn Row 1 Left
2R- Turn Row 2 Right
2L- Turn Row 2 Left
AU- Turn Row A Up
AD- Turn Row A Down
CU- Turn Row C Up
CD- Turn Row C Down
XR- Turn Row X Right
XL- Turn Row X Left
ZR- Turn Row Z Right
ZL- Turn Row Z Left
YR- Turn Row Y Right

  2: L shape (X2,Y2,Y3)- Face 2 row color towards you with X2 pointing at you, and Y3 to the right, then complete sequence
  3: Straight line (Y2,Y2,Y3)- Face any 2 row facing you and the straight line is horizontal, then complete sequence
  4: Cross (Y1,Y2,Y3,X2,Z2)- completed
4. B1 Fix - Match B1 colors for all sides
1. turn until at least one B1 is correct
2. Face one of the incorrect sides to you, the other incorrect side to the right- CU,1L,1L,CD,1R,CU,1R,CD,1R - Repeat several times if needed (may take many attempts)
 
5. Place the Corners - Fix corners by placing them with correct colors (in wrong directions)
1. Look for corners with wrong colors on 3 sides, face side with C1 being right-  AU,1L,CU,1R,AD,1L,CD,1R - Repeat until 4 corners have correct colors
 
6. Turning Corners - Face incorrect side towards you with wrong corner at C1-
CU,1L,1L,CD,1R,CU,1R,CD, AU,1L,1L,AD,1L,AU,1L,AD - Should have 2 correct, 2 wrong. Repeat until solved
