had a handful of 11 to 4c3s but didn't get anything off any of them

one of the coolest optimals I've ever had the pleasure of missing

had this 25 mins in, was super checked out of this attempt and it ended up being way more of a sprint scramble than I expected from the eo count

U2 D2 B' D' F' U // 11 4b2
B' R2 F R2 B L2 B' // 18 htr

there was 20 from this htr path:
B' R2 F R2 B

(U2 B' L2) // slice 20 +0

also
R F B' D L // I'm sure there's something crazy from this

(F') B L U F
D' L' U' D2 R // 10 4b2
F2 D' R2 B2 D'
R2 F2 D2 L2 B2 // slice 20 +0

thankfully had this at like 30 mins bc I found aboslutely nothing else for the rest of the attempt

B (F' L2 F), L U' L2 R' U' F2 U // 11 2c3 with jzp on both sides, findable opt at least 23

i want to die

U2 F2 B2 D R2 B2 U // 12 4b3

also
R L F U' B // whoa blocks
R' D' R' U' L' // 10 pf2l-1
I think I vibed something that could've given 23ish off this but I couldn't find it again

(B L) L F' L

found several 24 to slice that weren't +0 but nothing better

(R L) R' F2 D2 R // 8 2c4

R2 B2 D2 B2 // M slice 20 +1

probably not dr opt but I only spent a few mins

2 eos checked, ~30 min
oops i finally got punished for not doing real attempts on these lol

wtf lol

(U2 F2 L U2 D2 R) // htr 17
(U2 F2 R2 D2 R2) // solved 22
all those variations and 22 is optimal from (B) D2 U2 L'??

then there was also this from the same eo family
R' D' B2 R U2 D2 L // 12 4a1
which absolutely sucks despite 15 to htr, jzp on one side, and an eo variation on the other side??? no sub-23 findable

also stared at this super chonky 11 to 2c4 for a while but didn't make anything of it (24 opt or something)

(L2 F L') // 7 4b2
R2 F' (D2 L2 B) // htr 12
(D2 L2 D2 F2 R2 U2) // slice 18 +1

missed 18 from this dr but it's not the easiest path

R' D' L2 U, R B2 R2 B2 D2 B' R // 11 0c0 4e
unique opt is R' L F B R2 F' B R' L' B' U2 D2 B' U2 // 23
which does the 16 htr and then cancels into rlfb stuff
missed some 24s with long finishes from the 16 htr

(R L2 F', D L' F2 B2 R' D L2 D) // 11 4a3 8e
24 opt

holy god damn I should not have taken a break after worlds lol

F (U' B')
D' (R' L2 U2 L D') // 9 2c4
R' B2 L U2 L U2 L2 B2 L' // htr 18
B2 U2 L2 // 21 slice
only found +2 with like 8 mins to solve slice, 4q+2h and a blockyfish

good advertisement for vr I guess, I tried this slice with vr after the attempt to practice the new tech and found the +0 in like a minute.

on the bright side, this slice is the unique optimal and it uses the shitty 4a3 path, so happy to have found that.

optimal from the variations

had 23 slice with no +0 from
(R L') U' F' L, (F' B' D' F2 R2 D) // 11 2c3 4e
with 22 opt easily findable. I switched B but should have switched 2q for the 22

(L F2 L2 F2 D2 L') // reduce

spent 10 mins or so on the 7 to 4b5 but nothing popped out. probably should've just committed

also had 10 to 4b3 and 11 2c4 and 11 to funky blocky 4a4

one of my coolest solves ever

(R D B [L])
(U D) // 4c4e
F // jzp
[] = L'
(L2 F) // 9 4b2 4e

found 21 to slice +1 after (U), but then

[] = (L R2 U D L2 B) // 10 4b2 4e
(U^) R2 U2 L2 U^ // 15 htr
