tfw you spend 20 minutes trying to do a trick and fail...

(L2 D B' R)
R2 U F2 U' L2 F2 L2 U F B' // 4b2 2e in 14 U F B also wow L2 F2 L2 is a variation
proceed to fail finding anything satisfactory (perhaps because it was a 14 move dr wow!)
nissy says there was nothing good...... darn

i found nothing!!!! at least i didn't dnf....

(F) L' U D' F
U' L2 U' R2 U2 D' R // 4c3 in 12 found with like very little time left
L2 U' F2 U2 F2 B2 R2 U' L2 U' // the first path i checked that had a finish i could see
F2 L2 R2 F2 L2 B2 //ls
+2 :(((((((((((((((((((((((

D2 F D2 B
L', (U D' L2 D' R) // 4a2 4e in 10
F2 U L2 D2 F2 U
B2 U2 B2 D2 // M slice in 20
+4 damn
missed 13 oh well (i did not check U' as the 2q->1q move for +1 ext oops)

WHAT if you widened the eo you get an 8 move dr???? :((((((((( i will never forget to check that

i also had this very funny looking dr that was one move to dr-2e (like two edges aren't in dr, not fe stuff) on the z axis but then it was 0c3 lmoa it looked dumb
D2 F D2 B U' (L' D2 L2 F2 L U D)
and this 4c4 in 10 with L U D variations but i refuse to check 4c4 (it would have lead to a 23+ i think anyways)
D2 F D2 B U' B2 R U2 L U D

(R F' U' D' L)
B' R2 U B D' // 4b2 4e in 10
L2 F R2 F2 L2 U2 L2 F'
R2 U D' L2 U D F2

missed finding one of four different 23s lol and probably even more 14s oh well
B' U2 L2 F' L2 F' U2 F' // i did NOT think of doing U2 after the B' only D2 oops
and then it's like obvious to do the 4b2 floppy parity swap extension then you get +3 fin

R' F' D' F'
(F2 L U2 R2 D' L2 F2 U) // 4b2 4e in 12
U2 R B2 U2 L'
B2 D2 F B' D2 F' B // fin
there was a +9 4q ... oops
and also a better double slice to give 23 ... oops (cancel with the B2) never thought to try that damn

there was a 4b2 4e in 11 on the same jzp on normal
R' F' D' F'
(F2 L) U2 R B2 U2 L
but i didn't find anything better than this 24 (im slow okay)
there was a +11 4q i really should check 4q huh

tfw U F B dr + jzp in 10 2c4 and you still get +16...

R' U' F B'
(F2 D', B2 L U2 R') // 2c4 10 variation hell (i have no practice for this oh no)
// also it's stacked corners on normal and into 2c3 6e/8e on inverse oh no 
// checks linear htrs from normal and that's it
U2 R2 D' R2 D B2 U' F2 U // htr in 19
F2 B2 D2 L2 B2 L2 // ls 25
+1 :(((
i really should have checked htrs on inverse instead since there are more variations on normal + normal was a worse 2c4 case really

looks like there were +13 finishes from
U2 R2 D' (stuff)

hmm what about this modern hackery stuff... what does nissy say
R' D
(F2 D', B2 R B2 L') // 2c4-2s in 8
B // 4c3 path...
U D F B // recog fix
(U R2 D2 L2 B2 D' F2 L2 D) // ...
(F2) // lol
no way i was finding that wow

WHAT i miscounted i thought this was a 26

F (D' L' F)
(R D B2 U2 D2 L) // 4b2 2e in 10 not 12 oops i can't count
L2 U2 F2 B2 U F2 U2 F2 U' // extensio
R2 B2 R2 U2 // ls
+1
missed optimal by a bit oh well there was a 20 wow oh well... i really should have found that lol
(L2 R2 F2 B2 U' R2 U')
(R2 U2 R2 U2 F2) -1 ls
+0
i think i just didn't realise this htr fin short or something lol

i found this dr minus one slice (dr-fe thing) but did not have enough time/confidence to check it
U'
R2 B U2 B' L // 4b5 minus one slice in 6 moves !
lol idk optimal was 17 so it wasn't even going to be that good

(D' R) U2 R'
F, (U F2 U' R2 B2 U F) // 4b2 2e in 12
(B2 U2 R2 B2 U B2 U')
(F2 R2 L2 F2 R2 F2) // 25-1
optimal from dr yum

uhhhh i did not write my solution down in time ... oops it was bad anyways

blegh
U B D L B
L2 D' R2 U2 D2 B' // 4a2 4e in 11
(L2 U2 R2 U' F2 U2 L2 U') // hrt but it's a 2e2e

+1 slice

i somehow thought this was a 25 lol
i also somehow spent 20 minutes rewriting slice when i could have just written a rotation...
B' U R D F
R D F2 L2 U R // 0c3 in 11 :skull emoji:
U' (R2 B2 R2 U R2 U2 F2 U') // htr ... this subset sucks

+1

i found a funny dr at least!!

F' U (R' F' U) // eo
(L U2 F' U2 B R) // 11 to 4c3 !!!! or D2 B' U2 F L variation
and then there was
R2 F (D2 L2 F U2 F) // htr but it's bad
and yeah i died after that
looks like the other variation had a +12 that was findable maybe you do U2 R2 F on normal (i did not think of that)

(R2 D R' F) // eo 4c4e 2c1e 1 pair or something
U' L2 U' B2 L // 2c3 4e in 9
F2 U' B2 R2 F2 L2 U' F2 U // htr in 18

optimal was +13 but im not good enough to check that kind of trigger...

+1

i thought this was 27 what!!! oops

B2 L F2 L' D2 F2 L B2 L2 B2 L' // extended htr

ran out of time oh well i think i had something shorter written but i can't be bothered to check since i didn't submit it

grrrr oh well

(F B2 D)
(L, F' U2 B' L') // 2c3 2e in 8
(R2 B R2 B' R2 F') // htr
(D2 L2 B2 D2 R2 D2 R2 D2 F2) // longest finish ever

idk i checked like 10 htrs and none of them looked good i guess i need to practice more lmoa
optimal was on a path i checked... oops
B2 L2 F' D2 F D2 B' // htr
D2 B2 D2 R2 B2 // M+E in 20 that's +1 ?! oops
missed a 21 oh well
there were also some 2c3 2e triggers i didn't know

grr i found no good finishes

(L) D' B2 U2 L
D, R2 D2 U2 B' L2 F2 U // 2c3 4e in 13
(F) B2 U2 L2 B' L2 B // htr in 20

+1

SO MANY EOS i did NOT check all of them lol

U D' R // eo
(D B2 U' B L2 D2 B) // 4b2 4e in 10
L2 U F2 R2 U' R2 U' R2 U' // htr in 19

i found ONE dr and it was 14 moves (i gave up finding <= 12 move drs)
(F2 R F B') // eo
U' R D' L2 F2 U' D L2 U R' // 2c3 6e in 14
D (U' R2 U L2) // oh this is 2e2e in 19 what the heck
(L2 B2 D2 R2 B2 L2 U2 F2) // +6 to 25 ls
+1

apparently there was a 26 with a different htr fin lmoa oh well
D (U' R2 U')
(L2 F2 D2 F2 D2 F2 R2 D2)
and this slices to 26 idk lol

bwehhh

i found this dr at like 15 minutes okay shush
F D' R2 U B
U' L2 U D' L2 D L // 4c3 in 12
(B2 F2 U F2 U) F2 R2 L2 U' // i am so slow at checking htrs
L2 F2 D2 F2 R2 B2 R2 ls
+1

grrr

I FOUND SO MANY 5Q DRS WHYYY

what even is this...
i think it's possible to slice this to 27 but i ran out of time lol

B (R' B D' F) // eo
U L' R2 D' R2 D // 4b4 in 11 (how do you solve this subset???)
(F2 R D2 R) // 4b2??
U2 L2 B2 U2 // it's jj???
R' D2 R D2 R2 B2 R2 L' F2 L' // skull emoji
whatever... optimal off this dr was 25

:((( i only found 1 dr and it was bad
B R' F' D'
R, F' U2 F L2 B2 R' F2 R' // 2c4 in 13 yikes!
L2 F (F' U2 R2 F' U2 F) // htr in 19
(U2 L2 U2 F2 D2 F2 R2) // ls in 28 ...
+1
this dr was apparently 14 optimal in like 1 billion different ways but they all look either go through 4c3, look hard, or are on the other dr trigger variation i forgot to check B L2 B R2 D2 F2 L2 B D2 B R2 B2 D2 R2

oops.. the only dr that i found was:

U B' D L // eo
F // jzp
(B L2 U2 [B L2 D2 B]) // 4a1 4e in 12

then did not find a finish in under the hour... oh well! optimal was +11... oops (i shall write it out for practice)

D' B2 L2 D' R2 L2 D // htr
[] = B R2 U2 F // doing the other variation of this trigger changes floppy parity i guess ?!
R2 B2 R2 F2 // S in 11-1
+1

U D2 L' B' D // eo (5/5)
B R2 F' D2 B L // 4b2 4e (6/11)
(R2 B' D2 L2 B') // htr (5/16)
(D2 B2 [D2 F2]) // M slice in 20 moves
[] = R L' F2 U2 R L' // +4-1 to finish
my first ever non E slice in an attempt !!! (i did vr it was fun)
optimal was 22 oh well (a +2 extension to the trigger gave a shorter M slice (notice how D2 B2 D2 F2 is the first 4 moves of a 2e2e so the extension could be used instead to swap those two moves!))

i had 12 eos written total... oops ! (i did not find the other two 4 move niss eos but i found the 2+2 lololol)
i found this one other dr

B (U' L F B)
D2 L D2 R U D // 4a3 in 11
8c8e yaaay (i didn't check it in time)

(good job getting out of bed)

(U2 D R)
(L2 F2 L2 D' B') // 4b2 2e in 8
(R2 B2 L2 D R2 U') // htr in 14
(L2 F2 U2 L2 * F2 R2 U2) // 2e2e in 21
* = L2 U2 L2 R2 D2 R2 // 6 - 4
23 finish okay sure
feels bad to get a 15 dr finish off a 4b2 2e... looks like optimal was 21 off of this dr so whatever im a noob so it's okay

i did not find many eos...
L B (U' R2 F')
(R2 D2 R' F2 D2 R L2 D) // 4a1 4e in 13
(B2 R2 D2 L ^ B2 R2 B2) // leave slice + 3e in 20-1
^ = U2 F' B L2 F B' // 6-1
+3 slice (1qt moment)

optimal for this was dr was 10-2 (so a 21...) :grimacing: i should have checked more than one htr lmoa
(R2 D2 R2 B2 L') // htr
(F B D2 F B) // finish (23-2)

i did not find a single sub 13 dr :(

grr
D L // death
(F2 D B' U2 R2 F' B U) // 4b3 4e in 10
D2 F' L2 F2 R2 U2 F' L2 B // htr in 19
U2 R2 D2 R2 // ls in 23 !!
+2 slice rewrite ... oops

i had a 4b2 2e in 13 with R UD' on normal and i wanted to try the thing levi posted but i have never double sliced before...

F' D' R2 L'B
R2 D2 B2 R U2 R U D' // 4b2 4e in 13 with variations
did not find anything after this ... oops

F U D L D
F' R' U2 F' R' F // wow you can do a U2 there !! 2c3 2e in 11 (wow widening changes edges! the more you know)
L B2 L B2 L' // the trigger
U2 L2 B2 L2 // lol
+0

waow this is pb by a lot!! this whole dr/htr thing is pretty good isn't it

most confusing slice rewrite ever!! i hope i got optimal lol

U2 R' F' D L
U, L2 B2 U2 B' D // 2c4 in 11
F (B D2 B' D2 B2 D2 ^ B) // extension thing to htr
(R2 B2) // 2e in 21
^ = D2 F2 D2 F2 D2 F2 // leave slice in 25 i guess ?!?!

then the dr solution becomes
F B2 R2 B' F2 D2 F2 D2 F2 B2 D2 B D2 B'
wow so many F B2s and stuff !!
leave slice hurt my brain but i somehow did it in time and it was -2 lololol

wasted a ton of time oops oh well at least i didn't dnf!

B D F
D' L, (D R2 D L2 U' L) // 4c3 in 11
U' (U F2 R2 F2 R2 B2 D') // hrt yum
(F2 U2 B2 L2 B2 L2 B2)
+1
idk 16 finish off a 4c3 is probably not optimal but oh well i wasted a ton of time trying to do dr bounding but i didn't know what i was doing (probably should have practiced it before using lol)

L B' U' R
(D2 F D2 F D' B U) // 11 to 2c4
U2 F D2 F L2 D2 F D2 F'
R2 D2 B2 R2 U2 R2
+1
16 on a 2c4 feels unlikely idk i probably missed something :sob:

L R2 B' D
B R2 D2 B2 R2 F R2 B R // 4a1 2e in 13
(B2 L2 B D2 B U2 R2 U2 B' L' R' D2 L' R) // 27-2 to leave slice
+2 slice but it might have been suboptimal i made a mistake and fixed it last second

oh well...

B R' L D2 F
R', U2 F2 U2 R2 U L // 2c3 4e in 12
(F2 U' B2 R2 U L2 U' R2 B2 L2 U2 F2 L2 F2 L2) // 27-1
+1 slice
oh well...

i literally did not find any drs :sob:

:sob:

rip found 23 to slice with like 1 minute left oh well (need to practice more!!)

(F2 U2 B) // eo
(L', D2 U' L' D L') // dr 2c3 4e
(U' L2 F2 L2 F2 U L2 U) // long htr i should have looked at other solutions !!
(R2 B2 U2 R2 B2 R2 F2 B2)
+0 slice

the 23 to slice was
(F2 U2 B)
(L', D2 U' L' D L)
U2 R2 U' F2 B2 L2 U' L2 U
F' B L2 F' B
this is +1 so rip missed a 24 lol (i am sure there's like at least a 22 on this or something it's 2c3)

(R) L2 D L // eo l/r (4/4)
U B, U2 R2 F2 U D L2 U D2 F' // dr 2c3 6e (11/15)
D' R2 F2 D' L2 B2 D // htr !!
L2 B2 L2 U2 L2 // cool
+0 slice

i think this is my first actual successful htr solve lol
i found no drs until like 30 minutes in when i gave up and decided to check super long ones, found two 15 move drs and just went with them and i guess it wasn't terrible

found a 10 move and 11 move 4b2 4e but found nothing on it! must practice more!

ran out of time and failed to sliced the only thing i had :((((( lots of practice necessary!

D (R B' D) // EO (4/4)
(F) // 3c2e with 1 pair on inverse (1/5)
L R2 B L B' // DR 2c4 4e (5/10)
U2 R F2 R' F2 D2 R' U2 R' // very long htr :sob: (9/19)
B2 R2 U2 F2 R2 D2 B2 D2 // very long finish :sob: (8/27)

I didn't slice in time!!! :(((( 26 to ls was found in time which is an improvement over not finding that ever
