Unique optimal from the scramble... Why didn't I just safety a 24 on A1 XD (I won't be surprised if lots of people including Enrico find this TBH so I don't care that this week is probably a loss)

Found a decent amount of 22 to wrong slice from B (U F' B U2 L' F2 U2 L) and B (U F' B' D2 L F2 D2 L) but nothing looked to be sub 24
Probably shouldn't do FMC when I've just competed for a whole weekend and I'm underslept, didn't get around to checking everything I wanted to :(

21 is somewhat findable with the R' U2 R on normal followed by switching. I didn't think to try messing around with the blocky fish pattern in the way that leads to optimal (21), I guess I'll keep the idea in mind for future 4B24E scenarios
Fuck this DR lmao

64 EO's checked but didn't find a single sub 12 move DR (3 total 12 movers, only one from EO in 4 lol). Somehow didn't get totally punished for not checking very much RZP in 6...

Really wanted to make this other start work;
R2 B U2 L // EO (can be replaced with D2 R2 B U2 L or U2 L2 F' D2 L)
(D2 B R2 L2 D) // 9 to 2c3 4e (or 10 to 2c3 2e with the 5 move EO replacements)
Didn't find anything close to 21 to slice or better on these unfortunately
EDIT: I checked the other version of enrico's EO and even NISSed the RZP, but didn't try checking the other EO for some reason... probably would have made my final worse tbh lol

all my dr's sucked after 40 mins of the attempt so i gave up
i felt fine today so the fact that this was a total blowout is sort of confusing. maybe now is the time i stop procrastinating & actually fix/refine some ARM related decision making

too many short dr's not enough time/no easy finishes
i found 22 to slice a few mins after the hour from L U2 R' U D2 B2 D B U', in hindsight i really should have done a saftey of some kind from the HTR in 14 this DR has, really not sure why that didn't occur to me. also probably should have found the 8 half turns needed to reach leave slice way sooner than i did
i decided to try widening the 2 qt for my 22 to slice just to see if +0 is possible, and the first thing i tried solved the cube... fml
probably 0% of winning FMCL now, yay

I nearly found all 17 5 move EO's on this scramble, somehow the only ones I missed were the ones starting with R on inverse then switching xD
Cool solution
