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.

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.

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

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.

I've never used an R (R) eo before so I'm happy I caught this one. I'm not convinced I found the best thing off of it but I'm content after the disaster last attempt. 

this was a pretty panicky solution. I had this and a 9 to 2c5 and that was about it. Worst attempt in a while.
