F, U2 L F2 R2 L B' // 2c3 (8e ;-;)
(U2 L) F2 U2 R' U2 B2 L // (-1)
U2 L2 U2 L2 B2

at first glance i thought this scramble would be really good, but unfortunately I had like 5 DRs at the 30 minute mark and had to commit to this shitty 2c3

L B R B'
D2 R', L2 U' F2 R U2 R // 4b2 2e
(U^' L2 U^')
(B2 R2 F2 U^2 F2)

^ = w (+0)

nice break from last week. might be the shortest drfin i've ever had. 

also had a 24 from U2 B' L' B, D2 L2 D2 L' U2 L' U

and 6 2c4s, 3 4b2s, and a handful of 4cXs

(D R F L' B')
(R, U2 D2 B2 R' D R) // dr extension to give 4b2 4e (instead of 4c4)
U (L2 D^' B2 L2 B2 D B2 D^)
(L2 U2 L2)

^ = w (+0)

man, what a horrible scramble. had other DRs from 
D' F2 L(') F B
(D R(') F(') L' B)
but they were all trash

F R D' B
L, D2 B2 U' B2 U R // 4c3 bleh
(B2 U) U2 R2 U L2 D2 B2 U'
R2 U2 B2 L2 U2 // -1

had a whole lot of nothing on this attempt. this was my only sub-12 DR

(R2 B) D' B
U', L F2 D' F2 D // 2c3
B2 R' F2 [R' B2 U2 L]
R2 U2 F2 // LS

[] = L R2 U2 F2 R (+1-1=+0)

R D' L U
F L' (B L2 B U2 R) // bad 4c3
F U2 F' (B' U2 B' L2 B')
(R2 F2 U2 F2) // nice

also had:

L2 F (L U2 F)
(U R B2 U2 D R) // 4c4

R' D' L U L' F'
U2 R' D2 F' L2 F // 4c3

this scramble was really really bad

B F D' L
(U2 F D2 F) // 2c3 4e
(B2 U R2 U^' L2 U^')
(B2 F2 R2 B2 R2 U2^ L2)

^=w (+0)

also had F' L' B', U L (D' R2 U R' D2 R) // 4b2 2e 
but once i got this 20 i checked out

D R' L' U', B
L' D2 L D2 U2 F // 2c4
L U2 L (L2 B2 R D2 B2 F2 L')
(B2 F2 D2 B2)

all of my DRs were shit

(F2 R) L U R, F
L2 F U2 B2 U F' // 4b2 4e, the typical B D2 F2 D B gives 4c4
U^ (R2 B2 U' R2 U^' L2 U) // no good 2qt pathway
(F2 R2 B2 U2) // LS in 24-2 = 22

^=w (+0). there are no D moves in this solution :) 

this scramble was really tough, only checked like 20 eos
had a safety DR with F' L U' B D, R2 F, L' U2 D2 L' F // 2c3
and a 2c4 with (F2 R) L U R, L2 F' U2 B' U' B

R2 F (F)
R2 B2 U' F2 U L' // 2c3
U' B2 U' B2 D R2 U B2 U'
B2 L2 F2 // -1

literally the first 5qt reduction I tried after exhausting 3qt pathway, tied PB again!

also had these DRs

(U D2 L B) L2 U2 D' F D' F // 2c3 with a LDS in 18, found a 22 from this
(U D2 L B', L2 U D' F' U F) // 4c4
R' U' D2 R, U F' B2 U F2 U // 4c3
F2 L2 D2 F', L2 U B2 U' L // 2c4
nothing from U (U) :(

(D L2 F U')
(R' B) F2 U2 F2 R2 L F' // 4c3 but its not bad
L' D2 R F2 L2 F2 D2 R
F2 U2 R2 U2

not the right scramble to be braindead on, i totally missed the F U (D U) eos. only had 4 other DRs this attempt

F2 U2 F'
U' R (F2 R' U' L2 U' R) // 4b2 2e 
B2 L2 D R2 D'
U2 R2 D2 R L' U2 B2 R' L' // -1

had 4 4b2s and 4 4a2s, this was the best i could get from all of them, seems sliceable but I ran out of time

also F U F U F eo is funny

(R U' R F2 D', R)
(L' B' L2 F L) // 2c3 w/ my new favorite trigger
(R2 F' U2 [F U2 F')
(U2 R2 D2 U2 F2 D2]) // ls

[] = Fw U2 Fw z2 F2 D2 L2 U2 D2 B2 D2 (solved in +1)

also had this blueball:
F (B' R B'), (L2 D L U' L) but of course its 4c4
and a few other trash DRs:
F' B' L B, R (U R2 U' L2 B2 U L) // 2c3
D2 F B R' B, U' R2 D' F2 U' F2 L // i forgor
D2 F' B R' B, (R2 D L U2 B2 L) // 0c3

20+22+24=tied PB mo3 :D

R2 U
[(U2 F) // wait a min
(F2 L B)] // dr in SIX, new record for sure

unfortunately this dr is hideous
[] = (U2 L2 B' L F) // an easier to use 2c4 via +1
(R' D2 L U2 L' U2 L')
(F2 R2 D2 F2 U2 B2 U2 R2)

also briefly checked:
four 8+4s and four 9+4s from (F L B) and variants, 
four 9+4s and four 10+4s from (R2 F L B) and variants

two other 2c4s from R2 U

this scramble was amazing

F' U' R2 F
R' U2 L' D U // 2c3 
F2 L' (L D2 B2 R')
(U2 D2 R2 F2 D2 L2) // -1

my first 20! initially checked
F' U' R2 F, R U but noticed after R that RL was close to DR. never done this DR in an FMCL before and there were many variations, lucky to find this one

had a few other DRs including a 10+1 and 11+1 but nothing notable

(D) R D, F'
(B2 R' D2 U2 F' R2 F) // 4c3
(R' B2 L) [R' U2 R' F2 R]
{F2 D2 B2} // wait a minute lol, this is offset slice
[] = L' B2 L' B2 R // on the fly rewrite
{} = B2 U2 F2 // done

(F) R2 D F, U
(F2 L B2 L2 D2 L D) // 4a1... 6e :/
(R' D2 L' U2 D2 L)
(U2 F2 U2 B2 R2 F2 B2) // nice

get me out of this scramble dude, had only a few other DRs in <12

F2 L F, U L
D' L2 D2 R2 U' L' // 2c3 4e
(B2 R2 F2 U^ L2 B2 U F2 U^')
(R2 B2 L2 B2)

^=w (+0)

found 19 DRs this attempt, this was the only one with <4 qt

(F' U B R')
(B U, F' R2 F2 D2 B U') // 2c3 4e
(D2 L2 F'^ L2 B^ R2 [B)
(U2 F2 U2])

^ = w, [] = B' z2 F2 U2 F2 U2 (+1)

only sub 4qt DR i had on this scramble. also had (U2 L2 F' R2 F U2 F U2 R2 L2 F2 D2) but could only find a +2. 

F D (U' B U) 
R B R2 D2 F L // 2c3
F (U2 F2 L2 F R2 D2 F) // (-1)
(R2 L2 U2 R2 B2)

also had these DRs

(D2 L2 F R) F2 B2 U L2 U L // 2c5
(U2 R2 B L) D L2 U R // 2c5 (tempting)
F' D' U' F, R' B2 L2 B2 U' L // 2c5
F' D' U' F, R' (B2 R2 D R2 D' L) // 4c4

and (U) R F' U', L (L2 B2 D2 B R) // 4c3 with a 20 to M-slice that seemed to be a +4 optimal...

(U) B R2 U
(L2 F' D2 B' L F2 D2 L)

[R2 F2 L2 F2] L2 U2 L2 // LS but its bad (-1)

^ = w, [] = z2 L2 F2 R2 B2 (+0)

locked myself into this 2c3 way too late, but happy to find a +0 with this LS

(F2 R' U' F)
(L), F2 D2 L U2 L // 2c4
(B2 D) U F2 U' B2 U' 
F2 U2 L2 U2 R2 B2 R2

blessed by this finish. Also had:

U F' R D2 B'

Originally had:

or U (L B2 F2 U L2 U) // another bad 4c3

Petition to ban Yuri from genning scrambles

(R' F)
D' R D L' B2 L // 2c5 :(
Uw B2 Uw' (F2 L2 U' F2 D R2 L2 F2 U)
(L2 Dw2 B2 Uw2) // ls

This scramble was crazy, should've found way better on this. Unfortunately, all the continuations I saw from the two move EO were 4+ qts. 

(F) L' B U F
L (R2 U2 D L' U L)  // 4b3 with insane blocks
(D' F2 [D' F2 U])
(F2 L2 U2)  // ls (LOL)

unfortunately, +2 rewrite: [...] = [D U2 B2 U' D2]. Probably sliceable somewhere but I can't find it

also had these DRs

L (R' F R) F D' B, U B2 D' F

lots of +4s from B' U F' D , B' R and B' U' F' D', B L

and some 5qts from variations of (F) L B U F, L / D

(R B L2 D F', R)
D' F2 L2 U' D2 R // 4b2 6e
(U' B2 L2 R2 U')
(L2 U2 B2 L2 B2 R2 B2)

Had a hard time finding DRs on this attempt, so I ended up using this safety I found about 20 mins in

D' R' L2 B L, U 
L2 R2 B2 F' D F' D  // 4a1
B U2 D2 F' R2 B2 R2 B
U2 F2

also had these DRs:

(B2 D R' B, D)
L U2 L' D F2 L2 D' // 2c4

(B2 R' D2 B, R') 
B2 D' L2 U L2 U' R // 2c3

(L B R U, L)
(F2 L2 U2 D2 B' R) // trash 4c

B2 D, R' L' B  
D2 L' R' B' R' B' // trash 4c

F (D2 L B', D R')
U' D' R U2 R // trash 4a4 that i couldn't find a good solution to

but: 
F' (D2 L B', D R')
U' D' F2 R U2 R // an easier 4b4
B2 U' R2 U' F2 U' L2 U 
B2 U2 R2 F2 L2

my only sub 13 DRs on this attempt

R B2 L , U'
B L2 B2 U' // 5qt 4c ;-;
R2 F' L2 F' L2 D2 B' D2 F L2 F'
R2 D2 F2 // LFG

cool scramble, couldn't find any good DR's off of the free 4e4c from R' F' D

(U' R' F D)
(R', U2 F' B L' F L) // 4a1 6e :/
(B) L2 B2 L2 U2 B D2 B
U2 B2 R2 U2 B2 R2

almost certainly not DR optimal but its the only sub 15 I could find

so many three move EOs wtf 

(R F L) F
U' R2 L2 U' F2 D' U2 B'  // 4b2 2e my beloved 
(L2 U R2 D F2 D' B2 F2 D)
(R2 F2 U2 R2)

original DR finish was:
... B2 
U2 R2 U' B2 U
L2 D2 L2 B2 L2 F2 U2 F2 U2 L2

luckily the 4qt pathway worked out pretty easily

this scramble was cracked, wouldn't be surprised to see many sub 20s

(L2 U' R2 F')
(L, D2 F2 U' R' F2 R)
U2 B2 U L2 U R2 U' R2 U' 
B2 U2 L2 F2 

safety solve. DRs off of (L) B2 R and R (U' L) were kinda trash 

also (L2 U' R2 F' L, D2 B2 D' R' D2 R') looks really good but I couldn't find a sub 15 drfin

(L) B U R
B, (L2 R2 D2 F2 B2 U' B')
(F2 D U2 L2 B2 U')
(R2 L2 F2 D2 B2 U2)

first DR i found on an otherwise frustrating scramble. Tried (F2 D' R2 F2 U'), but its trash. extensions yielded this nice htr finish, so I'll take it

D' F2 L'
R2 F U2 L2 U2 F' D'
(F) L2 F D2 R2 F' D2 F'  // 2c4
R2 U2 F2 R2 D2 L2 F2 B2 // clearly suboptimal finish but I can't find anything better

there may be something on these drs:
(F) D' F L F (U' B2 U' F2 U R' B2 R) 2c3
R B R F2 U, R2 B, (U2 B R F' R F) 2c3
D' F2 L R2 F R2 B2 D2 L2 U 5qt

but I ran out of time

F (L2 U' R2 F)
R (F2 L2 F2 U' L2 D' L)
R2 B2 U R2 F2 U B2 D   // 2c3
U2 R2 F2 L2 F2 U2 B2

i couldn't find anything good this scramble, i'm sure I missed a lot

checked 47 eos

B (U R' L' F)
(L) D2 R2 U D' B2 U R'
U B2 U L2 U (R2 D)   // 2c4
(L2 U2 B2 R2 F2)

this scramble sucked, i had no sub-11 DRs

Checked these other DRs:

B' (U R' L' F, U), U L2 D2 L' U plus variations // 2c5
B (L' U R' F, L, R2 D F2 D2 U' L' D2 L)  // bad 2qt
B (U R' L' F, L) U2 R2 U' D F2 U' D2 L' // 2c4
D2 L' D R' U, B, (U2 D2 L' F2 ...) // 2c5

but they were all bad. 

(L) U B' R
B (D R2 B' U B)
D F2 U B2 U'    // 2c3
L2 F B D2 L2 D2 L2 F B  // neat trick! found while fishing for a slice

This was a really nice scramble, wouldn't be surprised if I missed something huge.
Of course I initially had (D B' U B), but I didn't like any of the HTR finishes I got 
after the 3qt pathway (like (D L2 F2 B2 D L2 D) or (D) switch). I wanted to extend 
before checking 5qts and was satisfied with this (although I think opt is 21 with old DR).

Also had these DRs:

U L' D F, L, (B2 D R2 U' R) 2c5
L2 D U2 F, L D, (R U2 L D' L2 D) 2c4
(R2 B D', R B), B2 R' B2 L' F L2 F 4a2 6e 
(L') B' U2 R, B, (U2 R2 ...) 2c3

B' (U D' R2 F)
U R, L2 F2 D' L'
U (U' B2 L2 U' L2 U)   2c4
R2 U2 R2 B2 L2 B2 L2   (slice, solved in +0)

missed DR optimal by 2

checked 36 EOs

F' L U R // eo
U2 F' U // 7+2 :D
(L2 U2 F L2 U2 F) // htr in 13.....
U2 D2 F2 U2 B2 L2 B2 D2 R2 (-2) // fin

Tied overall PB :) first DR i found

after finding this I checked out the extension U L2 U F' U but didn't find anything better. 

also checked random long 2c3 F L U R F' B U F2 D' U' F' U2 F and 2c4 F L U R B (F2 R2 U' L2 D' U2 B)

L2 F U2 B // eo
R (U L2 D' F2 R2 U2 L) // dr, i was on the strugglebus
R2 U R2 U^' R2 U^ B2 U F2 U // (-1) 3qt but i couldn't find a good setup to 4b2 2e through the normal pathway
R2 B2 D2 B2 // slice

^ = w + 0

i had F' (D' B R B') (D' L' B2 D' R D R) for the longest time, but I couldn't find anything good on it

checked U2 F' L2 B', U' R (D R2 U' D2 R D' R) but the continuation was unclear

also (U R' L D, B2 R) F D2 L2 F' B2 R is trash

less than 40 eos checked :/

(F2 D' L D) // EO
(L) R2 L2 F B L B2 L // DR
(D2 F' U2 D2 R2 F D2 F) // HTR
(R2 U2 B' F' R2 B F' D2) // fin

this was such a good scramble, 28 is a shame. had (F2 U2 F2 R2 D2) 2e+slice as a finish for a long time, but I couldn't find a good insertion. 

can also rewrite (U2 F2 R2 D2) as (D2 B2 L2 U2) to get a different 2e, but couldn't find anything good here either. 

sol can also be sliced in a billion places but im bad

checked 18 RZPs
