Reduce through M slice using (R) for 23

Had an 8 to 2c4 but I quickly left it away cause it felt unsolvable. Good decision imo

U R' D' L U' // EO
L (F R2 F B2 L) // DR (11) 2c3
(R2 F) L2 D2 F U2 L2 B // HTR
R2 B2 D2 R2 D2 // Slice (23)

(+0)

The rzp looks random but I NISS traced a 1x1x3 and a pair so I decided to switch.
I found the HTR by niss tracing after L2 D2 B (R2 F) // 1q redux

Apart from that I had 11 to 4b3, 11 to 2c4 and a family of HTR equivalent 12 to 4a2

I worked hard on a 10 to 0c4 and a 9 to 4b4. Forgot about a 10 to 2c4 that could have given 22

Also F2 R U (L' R2 U2 B' F2 R) // 4b3 (9) had a 21

L F' U' B // EO
(R2 U D F2 U D2 L) // 4a1 4e (11)

I have no idea how I missed the EO + 42 JZP that gave 8 to 2c3 for 20...

L (U' D' L) // EO
(L2 U B F2 R2 U F2 U D2 B) // 2c3 (13) blocks

13 to 2c3 is the new 12 to 4b2
Happy about this solution, the scramble overall was painful

Another good scramble where I only get sadge DRs.

(B2 R' U2 R2 D2 R' D R) // DR 2c3 (13)
F2 U' R2 F2 U F2 U' // HTR (19)

Sorry about that... I hate finding EOs so I went for silly stuff on the EOs that looked okish. I didn't expect this, this is pure luck...

(F U L2 F) // EO
L U (L2 U' L U' L') // DR (11) 0c0 2e

(+2) Unfortunately

I dont usually switch into RZP in 6, but I kinda felt it because many pieces were already DR'd and ARM was good after EO

What a scramble, I wonder if somebody will come up with a mega short DR with good subset 

R2 U (U2 F' L B) // (6) 4b4 ofc bad subset 
(D2 L' B2 R' F2 L2 D2 L D2 L D2 L) // HTR (16)

R' U2 L {U D // DR (9) 2c3

Rewrite DR part to remove L2 R2

Long time no see sub 20

Boring attempt again, ended up getting trapped in a 12 to 2c3 variation hell

R' U' R' F // xEO
(F2 L2 D R2 U L2 U' L). // DR 12 4a2
F2 D (L2 F2 L2 B2 R2 U') // HTR

Sad scramble, the DR fishing phase felt really disappointing despite the many EOs

(B R B2 R' F' R) // DR (10) 4b3
(R2 U2 F' U2 F R2 F2 R2 U2 F') // some HTR

Had a bunch of sub ten to DR, but terrible subsets 4b3, 4b4, 2c5

R (U' D2 R) // EO + DR-4e

This Slice is +2 but

Also had:
U R L' F' D B (L2 F' L2 B) // another 10+4 from JZP
it has a ton of HTR variations + double slice options but I couldn't find the right one

B' U B' U B2 D2 R' U' L // 9+4
(U) F2 U L2 U F2 R2 D // HTR
L2 B2 L2 R2 D2 // Slice (22)

Can't believe this is optimal from first 5 moves
Mallard only gives 21 with an EO in 4 that I missed

(U' B F' LF') // EO + RZP-78
(U D' R' D' L') // DR (10) 2c3
(L2 R2 U) L2 R2 B2 R2 U F2 R2 D // HTR

(+1-1)(25)

I didn't mean to switch a +2 to 4b2+4e but I got lost in my notes and this turned out to be the best I got
Sad scramble

FMC can be so frustrating...

Had 8+2c5, 9+2c4, 9+0c3, 11+4a1/4e, 11+4b2/2e
Couldn't settle on a 24 to slice, it felt so bad. I know I should have secured the solve cause it's a head to head but hey

(R U' F D B' R' F) // 7 to 4b4
(R) R' U2 L' F2 R2 U2 R // HTR (15)

Almost missed the slice here, but overall happy with my decisions

What an ass scramble 😭

F2 U (L2 R2 B2 D) // extended HTR (16)

(+1) for 22

Got nowhere with the shorter DRs I had. All had awkward corners 

D' R' L2 B L // EO
U R2 L2 F' B2 D F' D // DR (13) 4a1
B U2 D2 B // OMW to HTR but I can see the finish
B' F' R2 B2 R2 B U2 F2 // 23

Fun solution but pretty bad given the scramble

Had a couple 10 to 2c3 but I couldn't beat 23🤷

(B L' U2 R F) // EO
L2 D2 B2 R2 U' [D2 R // DR 12 2c3
(F2 R2 D' F2 U B2 U') // HTR
F2 B2 U2 L2] // E+M (22)

[]: D2 L U2 D2 F2 L R (+1) Solve M
E solves in (+1)

I found the double slice after HTR by trying the HTR on the DR variations

Missed an easy 21 from Mallard from R (U2 B U R) // RZP 78
Overall missed too many EOs

R' U2 F' D // EO
D2 R' U2 F R' B // DR (9) 2c3
U2 R B2 U2 L B2 L // HTR
R2 F2 R2 B2 U2 B2 // 22

I don't think L R2 can be sliced out

Tried the 8+5 variations as well but they didn't solve well

(U' F R2 D) // EO
F2 U2 B' L2 F // DR (9+4)
(R F2 R' F2 R D2 R') // HTR

Hard scramble, every EO I had was terrible and I didn't feel like submitting a 26

F' L U R U2 F' U // (7) 4b2

(D2 R2 U2 F2 R2 B2 R2) // Slice (21)

Optimal slice is 20+0 from (L2 U2 F R2 D2 B') // HTR (13)
It's very hard to find imo

U2 F' L2 B // EO
U D R D' R2 D // DR (10) 4b2
U2 B2 U2 R F2 R' // HTR
F2 L2 D2 B2 D2 // Slice (21)

Spent the whole attempt on 

U2 F' L2 B U D R (R2 U2 R' D2 L) // 12+2
D R2 D U2 // triple slice (16)

Can be rewritten as:

U2 F' L2 B U D R D U2 L2 D (L R F2 L' D2 L) // 3e (17)

The best insertion I found is (6-1)(22) despite the 3e being HTR at some points 😭

I'm sure a <=20 exists in the variation hell

F D L // EO
U D R2 F2 R2 B U // DR (10) 4b2 0e
(U2 B' L2 D2 R2 U2 F) // HTR

U2 R2 D' B2 L2 R2 D L2 D // HTR
U2 L2 R2 // lol (21-1)

Slice out the U2 D for a 19

I had (D B2 D' F2 D F2 R2 U2 L2 B2 R2) // Slice (20) for a 21 from this DR in 13 minutes
I then proceeded to check the many options from 3 and 4 move EOs and didn't find anything more promising than this DR. Usually I would have just ended the attempt but I figured I could check more one normal and found this.

(U' R L2 D' L) // EO
(F) D2 F2 D B // DR (10) 2c3
(U2 R2 U B2 R2 U R2 U) // HTR

I got excited when I found the short HTR but it didn't really work out well

(R2 U L F' R) //EO

U2 B L2 B2 D2 F' U2 R2 F // HTR

Also had :

(R2 U L F' R) L2 D B' U2 B U // (11) 2c3
Found 24 to Eslice but no (+0) or (+1)

And 
L D R B L (U2 D2 F L2 F L2 U) // (11) 4a2
Found a 24 overtime (missed the right HTR variation during the attempt)

U' B' D' B // EO
[U2 R2 U] R L // DR (9) 4c3
(L2 D' B2 D2 R2 D B2 R2 D) // HTR (18)
(L2 U2 R2) // S+E (20)

because of R L at the end of DR there is a UD rewrite at []: U D B2 D' U2 (+2) // Slice (22)
Slice solves in (+0)

I could have spent more time on the variations of the DR if I had more

R' F D B' // EO
U (B2 R D2 U' R U) // DR (11) 4c3
(D2 L B2 L2 D2 R F2 R' B2 L2 D2) // Slice (22)

(+1)(23)

I spent ten minutes on F (U' F) which is not EO. I found 5 "rzps" and even one "DR" from it 🤣. Then after I finiched EO check I went back to the DR and noticed my mistake 😔

F B R L B // EO
U (F2 U L U' L' U) // DR (12) 4a16e
D2 R ({D2 L2 F2 [R U2 R]}) // HTR
(F2 D2 B2) // 2e + slice

[] : R' D2 L2 D2 R' // slice (25)
{} : L2 F2 L2 D2 L F2 R2 B2 L' (+1)(26)

Hard scramble, I didn't get any good DR. I believe you had to check a lot of 2+3 EOs to hope for good DR opportunities but I'm too slow

Other:

F B R L B U // same rzp
(B2 R' D' R' D) // shorter DR (11) 4b2
 couldn't find a good HTR, I didn't want to lose too much time on NISS HTRs

(U' F' L R B) // EO + 32
(U L2 R' U R) // 4b2 6e (10)
(B2 U F2 D' L2 B2 U B2 U) // 4q HTR
(F2 L2 F2 U2) // Slice (23)

Rewrite Slice in (+0)(23)

Also had (L' F R U B L U F2 L2 D R) // 11+4b2 0e, found a 20 to M Slice, only 25 final

B' (D2 B) // EO
R' D' L' B2 U' R D // DR (10+4)
(B2 U2 {L' B2 L F2 U2 R D2 R') // HTR
(L2} D2 R2 U D' L2 R2 U' D) // Finish (26)

{}: R' U2 L D2 F2 R B2 L (-1)(25)

Hard scramble in terms of EOs. I found the DR by looking at 6-move rzp R' D' L', then noticing it's rzp 78 on red-orange DR
I also had this block start :

B (D2 B D L' U) // RZP 32 blocky
(F2 D2 R') // p223
 and from here:

F2 R B2 L U L U // DR (13)
R B2 L2 D2 L2 // 3c+Slice (21) can be sliced out but the corner insertion is trash

or R2 L' D' L D L D2 L // 3c1t (17)

didn't attempt to insert, maybe should have

F D U2 R' U // EO
F' B' D2 L' F R D2 // DR (10+3)
R D2 R' U2 D2 B2 L' // HTR w/extension (17)
F' B' R2 U2 F' B D2 B2 // Finish (25)

Am I unlucky or 10 to 2c3 is actually bad ?
