R2 B (F2 R2 B D2 B D2 B') //HTR
(L2 U2 R2 U2 F2) //LS

Slice in -1 (due to B F2).

I also had a cool DR through 3c4e:

B L D' R' //EO
F, D U2 F' D' L2 D2 F //12+2c3 6e.

D2 L U' B' //EO
U, R' U L D L' U' //DR (11+4a2 4e through 4c4e trigger)
(U2 F2 R F2 R2 * U2 R' #) //HTR

*: M' //+1
#: M //+0.

U' R2 F U //EO
F' (U2 R2 F U2 L2 B) //DR (11+4a3, through 4c4e JZP trigger)
U2 L2 L F2 L2 D2 L' //HTR
F2 B2 L2 F2 U2 R2 //LS

Ok, now it gets weird. I tried to solve the DR slice first (which admittedly isn't the smartest choice), and since we have a blocky fish section, I knew that you just need to find a slice to solved or 4x. I found the following post-DR:

U2 Lw' B2 L' D2 Lw2 U2 Lw F2 B2 L2 F2 U2 Rw2.

Notice how I used the blocky fish variant. So far I'm convinced I have a 25:

U' R2 F U F' U2 Lw' B2 L' D2 Lw2 F2 Lw [F2 B2 L2 F2 U2 Rw2 B'] L2 U2 F' R2 U2

But then I remember that I have JZP on inverse, so I try doing something with that. The sequence between [] can be rewritten as:

[]->z2 L2 F2 U2 Rw2 B Bw2

So now I have a 24, or so I thought. This is where the "it's dumb to start with the DR-slice" becomes apparent. My current solution is:

U' R2 F U F' U2 Lw' B2 L' D2 Lw2 F2 {Lw z2 L2} F2 U2 Rw2 B Bw2 L2 U2 F' R2 U2

BUT HOLD ON A SECOND. THE MOVES IN {} CANCEL. {}->R' x y2. I was lucky that I didn't have to simplify the M-slice further. Had that L not been widened, I would have had to look for some simplification, and this would involve going to the other VR.

Moral of the story: solve the DR-slice last!

I swear I had a 12+2c4 from an EO on RL on normal, through 7c8e, but I cannot find it again.

R' F L' //EO
(B2 D2 R2 U' B) //DR with variation (8+2c3 4e)

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

*=S2 //slice.

I originally wrote the HTR as B D2 B2 R2 B' L2 D2 F', which is the blocky-fish equivalent. Widening the B and the B' solved VR, but gave +1 step 2, but widening the section, and doing a blocky fish rewrite of the section, are equivalent mod V. This is a nice thing to know. Also the blocky fish rewrite happened to give a +0 step 2 instead of +1.


I also had this DR:

B' F D' L U' //EO
B2 R F' R' //9+4a4

but it didn't seem like it could give better than 22 (but I haven't checked).

(D B2 L) //EO
F' D2 F' B D' //DR (8+2c3 2e)
U2 B' (F R2 D2 B) //HTR

Slice in +1. I also had from the same DR:

(L2 B) D2 F2 U2 B' D2 L2 F //HTR
U D L2 U' D z2 //Leave slice (20)

But the only VR in +0 solves centers and doesn't skip the slice, and since there's only one F2 and no B2, it can't be +0.

(F' B2 L) //EO
B D, U2 B2 R2 B' F2 D //DR (11+4b3)

Weird intuitive way to solve the slice after VR that I found lol (remember that we're solving the S-slice).

I also had this from the same DR:

Which was slice in 24, but there was no VR in +0 (but there is a VR in +1 that skips, so that's another 25).
