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.

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

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.

ngl I kinda just rage quit after I found this. I've been kinda burnt out on FMC and have just had awful results. I don't know why. I have to remember that last year I would've been thrilled with a 24, so this is progress.

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.

Found this like 1 minute into checking eos and it ended up being the best thing I had. Didn't check many EOs since those 3 movers were juiced. 
Also had a 9+2 that led me to htr in 16 but the htr case was crap and ended up with slice in 25. 
What a weird attempt. Don't know how I feel. I definitely think I missed something obvious because of the lack of EOs I checked.

Also amazingly consistent week for me.

4a2 coming in clutch. Decided pretty early on to check rzps in 6 since the eos on this scram were awful. Had a 12 -> 2c3 4e and a 12 -> 4b2 4e. The 2c3 had my backup 27 which was sad.
