this turned into a surprise sprint scramble after I found 3 2c4s in 10 and each one had 2 variations.

Such an overwhelming scramble. I had a 9 to 2c3 6e, a 10 to 2c3 6e, and a 10 to 4a2 4e I decided to work with. Unless I missed something with the 9 mover I really think all of these were incredibly mediocre.

was working with this and 
(B' L U F2 R B L' B' L) // 2c3 2e in 9
but couldn't find much off of it. Very happy to eke out a 20 after finding a quick
straightforward linear 21 to slice off of this dr. Thought this was a 21 at first too.

wacky find that I found in the last few minutes. Was banking on:

but apparently 23 is optimal from that too. I think this solution I found is more fun.

holy sprint scramble. Didn't check the majority of eos I had...too much to go through and ended up with this super mediocre result.

totally fumbled the bag on this attempt, wrote all my RL normal eos wrong so just straight up skipped them mostly. Tons of eos, didn't check a lot of them. Still, PB League mean :)

Super trivial finish which is always appreciated. 

Also found (U' F' R2 D R2 D2 L2 F B2 R) 4a1 2e in 10 but couldn't find anything better than a 23 to slice on it. There was a +12 but required 4qt.

M-slice was a +1!

totally found this by accident, was trying to solve for the wrong slice while checking vars, actually found a short solution, and to my surprise it was only a +1. 

PB MEAN!! Finally sub-23

this was difficult, didn't find any <4qt DRs. Shame about the +1, but can't complain about a +12 to ls off of a 4c4.

edit: missed the obvious 22 off of a 4 mover I missed checking. Sick.

some of my worst time management ever. Found a 10 to 2c3 early on. When I later went back to check it, I couldn't get it to work. Apparently it didn't exist. I spent way too much time just trying to find that DR again. So I had to scrap this together last minute. Really irritated.

another week, another bungled mean :/ 
I hate these kinds of scrambles with a bajillion eos to check. Couldn't find many good DRs, didn't check all that many eos, and the DRs I did have weren't all that great, particularly none had great finishes.

I lucked out on this being the first variation I checked. I was short on time. Maybe there's something shorter in another variation but a +12 off of a 2c4 seems good enough. 
I had a ton of 2c4s I found in like the first 20 min. 

found two 24s, this was the more lol one

Also found

I spent forever looking at

decided to take a gamble and not explore that 8+4 for too long since I didn't find anything immediately good with it. I don't know if it was worth it. Found this ls in like the last 10 minutes and had to commit, unfortunately it was a +2 ugh. So not very thrilled with this result.
