again had some tolerable drs and no finishes

(D) U' L' U', R F B' U2 R // 4b3 9 w/ variant
(D) U' L' U, R F R B' L' B // miswrite of some 4a3 in 10 idk
R L (D F B' L, D B F2 D2 B' D) // 12 4a1 6e variation hell

lots of drs but no finishes

F R D2 B, U' [B2 R' B2 R2 U] // 10 4a3, 21 opt, 23 findable
[] = U' R L' D2 L U // 10 4a3, 24 opt
R F2 B L, (F2 D' R2 U2 D2 B) // 10 2c4, 23 findable
(R B) U2 F', D B2 R' L2 B2 D' L2 D // 12 4b2 that I thought I found a safety slice from early but didn't write it down and couldn't recreate it

R' B'
(L' R2 B2 U B2 U2 L) // 9 4b2
D2 R2 D' R2 F2 R2 F2 D // 17 htr
F2 B2 R2 D2 // slice 21 + 1

21 opt from all the jzp variants but requires either 4q or some pretty tough 2q paths

(U2 D B R L) L // eo 6
F2 D' F2 U2 F' U B' U' // 4a2 14 lol
R2 U2 B (D2 F2 L2 F) // htr 21
L2 F2 L2 U2 B2 // slice 25 + 0

y'know

none of my rzps had any drs, found this at the last possible second

(R' L' F D) // eo 4
(R2 L F2 R B2 R' F) // 2c3 11
(U2 R') B2 D2 R B2 R // htr 18
D2 R2 B2 L2 B2 R2 // solved 23

I yolo'd two long drs bc I had nothing and there was FB on one side but ofc they're trash bc it's the cool trigger

B L U R F B, (L' U2 B D F2 D' B) // 4a4
D2 B L2 U, R F B (L' R2 U B D2 B' U) // 4b5

was only trying weird stuff, had 25 or something off this

(F B) B' F2 L' F
D2 R' U' L U* R2 L2 D // 2c3 14 24 opt

(R' L) D R B' L // eo in 6 don't worry about it
F' D // rzp in 8 don't worry about it
U2 L2 F2 U2 B' U // 4a2 in 14 don't worry about it
B L2 F2 D2 F // htr 19
L2 U2 L2 F2 // solved 23

I found this dr pretty early and didn't bother to write it down or check it. with 9 mins left it was still the only decent subset I'd seen in the whole attempt, so I went back to find it again and lucked out

(B' D B U) // eo 4
(F L2 B' R' B') // 4a3 9
(R) R2 F2 R U2 R // htr 15
U2 F2 L2 D2 B2 // slice 20
solved in +1

other drs from the 10 eos I checked lol:
(F2 U' B' D, F R B) // 2c5 7
(B U' B D', F) L F' R' F // 2c4 9 (20 opt)
(B U B D, F) F L F // 2c5 8
(B U B D, F L B D2 B2 L) // blocky 2c5 10
(U B' D, F B L2 B2 L' B R' B) // 4b2 11
(U B' D), F' U2 B L2 D2 B R // 4a2 6e 10
(B U' B D', F L2 F2 L2 B' L B) // 2c3 11, also had 21 to slice off this

of these, only the 2c4 in 9 can beat 21, so not a huge miss. mallard finds 19 by switching my rzp, which is the only one of my many 3c2es I forgot to switch

(D' R U D) // eo 4
L' F L' U2 L D2 L' F // 4a1 8e 12
(L) R' U2 D2 L' // htr 17
B2 D2 B2 U2 R2 L' // slice 22
solved in +1

lots of shenanigans potential but the only 22s after (D') L F L' U2 L D2 L' come from the same dr with this funny 5q htr:
B2 R' F2 R F2 L D2 L B2 L

D' L2 U' B // eo 4
U F2 U' L [F2 D2 L] // 2c3 11
best I could find on this side was 23 to M slice, not +0, so
(U') // qt then spam the variation side
[] = B2 U2 R
U (B2 D) // htr 15??
(R2 F2 L2 D2 F2 L2 U2) // slice 21
panic solved in +3

I really should have written down the obvious +2 slice that comes off inverse, I just assumed I'd recover it later but it's much harder to see on normal and I was in time trouble

D (L D) // eo 3
F' R2 U2 L F2 L // 4b2 9
(F2 U2 B D2 R2 L2 B) // htr 16
(D2 R2 U2 D2) // slice 20
solved +1

also:
D (L D), B2 F' L' D2 L // 4b4 8
D (L D), R2 B' L2 F U2 R U2 R // 4b3 11 also had 20 to slice off this, not +0
D' (U2 L D), (B) B D2 R2 B // 2c4 9

EDIT: saved by misrecognizing the 8+2 as 8+4??

this 4a1 felt like it had rewrite potential but I didn't find anything decent

([F2 U]) D // eo 3
F R' L2 F2 B' R B2 R // 4a1 4e 11
there are no short htrs, I tried a bunch of stuff involving
[] = (D' U L2 D')
(U2 R2 L2 F) // htr 17, 21 to 2e2e that doesn't cancel
best I got was a 24 to slice that wasn't +0, didn't bother finishing it
opt was 22 via RLFB into double slice, bunch of 23s I just missed

also had:
(U2 F' L') // eo 3
(U L2 R' U' L2 U R) // 2c3 6e 10, first time this trigger has given me anything but pure filth
23 opt from it, should have spent more time

also lol @ this weird guy:
D F B R // optically funny 4c4e
(R2 L2 U' D' L2 U F) // optically funny 2c4

U' L (U' L) // eo 4
U B F D F' D F D // 2c3 12
F' (U2 R2 F L2 F) // htr 18
(L2 D2 L2 U2) // slice 22, solved +1
but missed a prime while writing it down in the time scramble

spent most of the time on
(U) U2 F' U B' U // 2c4 10
which looked good optically but I found nothing off it
EDIT: lol, the 23 was off the most obvious htr which I checked for 3 secs when I first found the dr but then didn't write down or revisit

ew

Was using this as practice for metric mixup qtm but ended up getting an okay result in htm too

there are some 21s using similar stuff but none are better in qtm so w/e

bad

was playing around with 4-move eo maxxing inspired by discord convo

went all in on the 2c4 and it did not work out

(B R2 U' D R) // eo 5
(U B' F' U' B U) // 4b3 11

didn't find anything, turns out to be 25 optimal

cool finish

only dr, I pushed my dr finding to 41 mins just to get this one viable one

edit: rip I also missed enrico's 20

R' F' B2 R' // eo 4
U (L2 [F B U2 B' D]) // 4b2 11

I played around with uninserting the 2e2e after htr
R2 F2 R2 // 2e2e + slice 18
but didn't find any good insertions

however, there is this very related 19 that I'm not sure the best way to find:

[] = R2 B2 L2 F U' // different dr
F R2 D2 F // same htr widened for 4x
U2 L2 F2 L2 // solved 19

had these two drs and found nothing worth submitting

(B2 L' B) B' // eo
L2 F2 L2 F2 D // 2c4 4e 9

B' D // eo
(B R F2 R D2 L F U2 F) // 4b2 2e 11

holy moly

R' U2 B L // eo 4
U' F // rzp 6
(F2 R2 U2 F2 D' F') // 2c3 12

found nothing off this for 18 mins. panic finish:

D' L2 U' R2 F2 B2 D // htr 19
R2 L2 B2 L2 B2 U2 B2 D2 // slice 27

but I wrote something down wrong solving the slice in the resulting time scramble

L2 U2 L U' // eo 4
F2 B2 U2 L B' L F' // 2c3 11
B2 U2 R' U2 R U2 R // htr 18
U2 F2 R2 F2 R2 // slice 23
solved in +0

this 23 was a safety I found at 30 mins. at 40 mins I found:

U D2 B' R F // eo 5
D2 R // 4a4 7

couldn't beat 23 from that, so with 4 mins left I tried getting better from the 2c3. found another 23 but missed the unique 22 which is very findable on inv. there's 21 from the 4a4 but the path is trash

D' B R2 U // eo 4
L2 F2 R B' L F // 4a1 10
L (U2 B2 L^ F2 B2 R^) // htr 17
(U2 F2 D2 F2 R2) // slice 22
^ = w // solved +0

so many variations of this rzp->dr I barely checked anything else

(D' L2 B' U) // eo 4
(L) L2 B' D2 B D2 R2 F' L // 4b2 13
U2 F' L2 D2 F' // htr 18
R2 B2 R2 U2 R2 L2 // slice 23
solved in +1

later I found some weird stuff that I didn't finish:
B U' F' B2 D // eo, 8c8e
R L F' B R // lol 4b5 in 10
first I tried to dr-flip that with (F U2 L2 F) but that didn't go anywhere. then I tried:
(F D2 R2 [F R L]) // 11 4c4 fine okay
[] = B L F B R L // 4a1 in 14 but I couldn't get it to be 4e
time to go analyze this for like a week ig

LOL the 4c4 was actually 4a2 that gives 21 rip

(B2 L) // eo 2
F (D' R2 D' B2 L2 B' D B') // 2c3 11
(U F2 U R2 U') // htr 16
(B2 L2 D2 L2 F2 L2 F2 L2 F2) slice 24
solved +0

other:
B2 D F, U' F2 D R' D L2 F2 D // 11 2c3
a ton of 9 or 10 to garbage subsets

(R' F' D B) // eo 4
(L' U R' L U2 L' D) // 4b5 11
(R' D2 L') L D2 B2 R' D2 F2 L' // htr 21
F2 U2 R2 D2 L2 // slice 25, solved in +0

other:
(R' F' D B) L F2 U' D' B2 R' U2 L // 4a2 12

Basically no usable drs on this one, I found four other blocky 4b5s that I didn't write down but maybe should have since I ended up not finding better. Also maybe should have checked the 4a2 more closely but it looked horrible at first glance so I skipped it.

B' U D L / F U2 B D B // 2c4, 9 rip I checked the first 2q of the finish that gives 22
B' U D L / F U2 B2 L2 B' D B // 4b2 4e, 11
B' U D L / B L2 F D B // 2c4, 9

F D2 U' B // eo, 4
