Edge Correct, Corner Slot Free

In this group, the edge is already solved, but the corner is in the U-layer.  In Cases #05
and #06, it is sometimes useful to use a "working edge" to place the corner.  This is very
similar to a working corner method, but you place the corner using a free edge slot
instead.
