8C8E!! 🙃

darn, i missed a very obvious 11 move DR from the same EO on review...

B2 L B' F R' // EO -> 4C4E (5)
(R2 F2 B2 D L2 U' F) // DR -> 3QT (7/12)
R2 D' (D2 L2 R2 B2 U L2 U') // HTR (9-1/20)
(U2 L2 U2) B2 U2 L2 B2 U2 R2 F2 R2 // DF (11-1/30)

satisfied with everything through HTR, finding the finish on this one was tough and what sent me over the hour
pretty bad performance overall this week, i really suck

wow i suck

feels bad

incredibly rusty

F U' D' R B // EO + RZP -> 4C2E (5)
U L2 D' F2 R2 F U2 F2 // DR -> 3QT 4C2E (8/13)
(B2 U' B2 U * B2 L2 B2 L2 U2 # F2 U') // HTR (11/24)
(U2 L2 B2 D2 F2 L2 F2) // 3E (7-2/29)
* = U Uw' 2-2/29
# = U' Uw 2-1/30

meh from from to back, found a 9 move DR that was 5QT sadly

U' D2 L B' // EO -> 6C2E (4)
L2 U // RZP -> 4C4E (2/6)
R B2 U2 L2 U2 L' U' // DR (7/13) -> 3QT 2C6E
L^ D2 F2 D2 F2 D2 L'^ F2 L // HTR (9/22) 
B2 D2 B2 F2 // 3E (4/26)
^ = w

on one hand 26 is pretty good and i found this solution in < 10 minutes, on the other spent too long on other EOs for them to end up with 5QT junk...

L2 B2 L' (L2) // 222 (4)
B' D B2 R2 (R2) // 223 (5/9)
D2 B' D2 // F2L-1 (3/12)
D B D' B' D B' D' B' D B' D' B // 3E (12-1/23)
L' F L B2 L F' L B2 // DF (8/31)

couldn't find anything other than 5QT DRs so figured i'd try blockbuilding with 10 minutes left, probably the best (relatively) linear blockbuilding skeleton i've ever found

(D U R') // EO -> 4C4E (3)
(L2 B' D2 B F' U2 F D) // DR -> 2QT 4C2E (8/11)
F' (U2 B2 D2 R2 D2 R2 B) // HTR (8/19)
(L2 U' D R2 U' D') // DF (6/25)

(D U R') // EO -> 4C4E (3)
(L2 B' D2 B F' U2 F D) // DR -> 2QT 4C2E (8/11)
F U2 L2 U2 L2 * F2 D2 F' // HTR (8/19)
(F2 U2 F2 R2 D2 L2) // 3E (6/25)

* = [R2, F2 D2 F2] // (8-5/28)

strong start but with so many viable EOs i found it tough to efficiently sort through them and could only try one of them in the end. time management needs some work

U2 R' B' D' L // EO + RZP (5)
B2 D2 L2 U' R // DR (5/10) -> 2QT 4C4E
U2 R2 U F2 U2 L2 U // HTR (7/17)
F2 R2 F2 R2 U2 * // 2E2E (5/22)

* = U2 F2 L2 U2 L2 F2 U2 L2 (8-2/28)

very happy with the start, not so much with the finish. i looked at 16 EOs this time, which took at least 20 minutes so that's an area of improvement. if i had more time, i would have tried some more HTRs

R U2 D2 B // EO -> 4C4E (4)
(R2 U' R2 U' B2 U2 L2 U R) // DR (9/13) -> 3QT
B2 U' // (2-1/14)-> 2QT 4E4C
L2 U'^ L2 D2 B2 U'^ // HTR (6/20)
B2 U2 R2 F2 U2^ // FR -> 3E (5/25)
^ = w (+0/25)

very pleased with this one, lucky HTR corners that needed +0 to solve edges too, little bit of fiddling to try and get better FR cases led to a nice 3E, random widening for +0 always fun

(F L2 B D' R) // EO + RZP (5) 4C4E
(F2 L2 B' R) // DR -> 3QT (4/9)
R2 F'^ R2 F' D2 R2 D2 L2 B2 D2 B' // HTR (11/20)
R2 F2 R2 U2 * // 3E (4/24)

^ = w, * = Bw' B (2/26)

not sure how to feel about this, on one hand lucky finish and the other HTR was awful and no 0-1 slice. at least i was able to flex EO checking and DR creativity muscle (and 26 is like PB4)

(F' L2 R' U' F) // EO -> 4C4E (5)
(U L2 U D F2 U' D2 R2 U' R) // DR -> 3QT (10/15)
[1] U' R2 F2 L2 F2 D R2 [2] D' // HTR (8/23)
D2 F2 U2 R2 F2 D2 // FR (6-1/28)
F2 L2 // 3E (2/30)

[1]: Uw' U (2-2/30)
[2]: Dw' D2 (2-1/31)

eh, spent so long trying to make the 4 move EOs work and just had to give up and take 15 move DR but kinda got bailed out by 2 moves after FR... not very happy w this one

(U R B D' B) // EO+RZP (5/5)
L2 F2 U2 L' R' B2 R' B // DR (8/13) -> 2QT 4C2E
U2 L^ D2 F2 D2 F2 R2 U2 L^ // HTR (9/22)
L2^ // FR (1-1/22)
D2 F2 D2 B2 D2 // 3E (5/27)

^ = w

not great but not bad, got lucky with slice insertion. found in 29 minutes while checking 5 EOs, that's pretty good for me

U2 R2 F // EO (3)
L // RZP -> DR-4C4E (1/4)
(U' L2 R2 U' D2 L F2 D2 R) // DR -> ugly 3QT (9/13)
(R2 D' B2 D^ R2 B2 R2 U2 B2 D2 B2 R2 U^) // ugly HTR (13-1/25)
(R2 B2 U2) // FR (3/28)
(F2 B2 R2 B2 R2) // 3E (5/33)
^ = widen

not great, i got too caught up in the several good looking EOs to make efficient progress

(L) U' F B2 L //EO on RL to DR-4C6E (5)
(U' F2 U2 L2 U B' U2 F') //DR to 2QT 4C6E (8/13)
(F2 R2 F2 R2 U L2 D) //HTR (7-1/19)
(L2 B2 U2 B2 D2 L2 B2) //FR on FB (7/26)
(R2 U2 R2 U2) //direct finish (4/30)

not bad

(D B U' R' F') //EO on FB (5)
(F2 R2 F2 L' B2 L2 D2 R' D) //DR on FB-LR (10-1/14)
(D2 L' D2 R2 U2 B2 L) //2QT 4C4E -> HTR (7-1/20)
(L2 U2 B2 U2 F2 R2) //direct finish (6-1/25)

yee

Pseudo EO into what I thought was RZP on W/G but was actually RZP on O/G in 4 moves
Kinda trash 12 move DR
4QT that I had to try bc running out of time, 11 moves to HTR
6 to FT but 4 to direct finish from there
1 move cancelled in between steps for 32 lol

Yuck

Bleh

not a crime to get lucky lol, last 4 moves on inverse

so bad

2 move EO with RZP, first try at DR was 5 QT, 2nd DR was 11 -> 19 to HTR -> 6 more to 2e2e on non DR axis, luckily 6-4 insertion during FR for 27
