even when the cool dr is good it's bad
(L U2 F')
(D R U' R' L D) // 9 4b2
D2 F2 U2 R D2 L
D2 B2 L2 U2 B2 U2 F2 // slice 22 +2
missed reasonable 23 from this dr and unreasonable-for-me 22
also spent time on the 10-move slice variant which has hard 23s
(L U2 F) B2 U' R' F2 L U2 L U // 11 2c3

I wrote one 2+3 and it was this one.
of the two obvious 4q sols on inv, I tried one, the other gives 21, or you can do this trick to get a different slice that +0s:
[] = (R2 U D' F' U' F)
(B R2 L B)
R2 D (L' R U L' U) // 11 2c3 optically good, actually vile

I miscounted this safety as 23 and didn't realize I probably had better from my other drs, but at least it's still worth posting for the memes
U' D' F
(R U' R2 D' L D2 L) // 10 4a2 8e
(L' R F R L U D R L F R' L) // don't worry about it
(F2 R2 L2) // 23 leave S slice +2
this happened literally an hour after I posted about this case in discord lmao

least deserved 19 of all time what a horrible attempt
(U2 F2 B R D)
(B2 R2 U2 B L' B') // I literally didn't know this could give 4b2 if the normal one gives 2c4??
B2 R U2 R // 15 htr
B2 R2 F2 // slice 18 +1
wrote two whole sections of eos wrong, spent the first 40 mins on 5-movers without checking a single 4-mover 'cause I kept making mistakes, finally checked the 4-movers and a couple random 5-movers with 16 mins left and found this. fmc

no
we're so back, it's so over etc.
B L R B R
U' B U D2 F // 10 2c4 I thought was going to save me
D2 L' B' F2 R, F U B' F2 D' F' D // 12 4b2, found 25 off this and then ran out of time trying to re-find it and write it down

hahahaha yeah
(D) B' D' L2 U
R F' L' B R2 L' F' L // 13 0c0 6e
obviously the only way to get opt off this 13-move dr is to UDFB shift it for +6, hard to miss honestly
(and yeah ofc you need 4q for opt+1 thanks for playing)
(D L' U B' R)
(U2 B U) B2 L2 U' R2 U // 13 4b2
this has +4 to htr and I found a few slices in 24 but didn't get the +1 in time
