realized there wasn't anything anything super good here. Realized my RZP move actually could be an R' instead and it's the exactly same 3c2e case...

I really struggle with that subset. Optimal from that DR was 14 but all optimal solutions looked pretty hard to find (most require 6qt).

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.

blahhh should be happy but it's hard to feel enthused about a +16 lmao. 6qt required for optimal so whatever.

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.

I never get this case so I have no idea if this is the correct approach lol. Also had a 19 to 3e (non-slice) and couldn't find literally a single cancellation which is super inconvenient.
