So just every scramble has an 18 now? Since I've started tracking my solves (14 solves including this one) the mean findable is apparently 19.79. There was absolutely zero chance of me spamming +1 rzps from that side on every single var of that 4-mover.

Since I got 19, 20, 21, but I missed 19, 18, 18, I've missed an 18.33 mean for the second time. The first time being officially. I said afterwards that it was really tough to cope because I can't just say "there will be another round" because if we're being real, there won't. But it only took exactly 98 more solves since then to get another possible 18.33 mean (rolling though, not a discrete set). This time, both 18s were missed because I did not have enough time to thouroughly check all 4-movers, got to ~35min, and just had to start solving DRs. What do I even do in this situation? My forever biggest confusion is how everyone else gets through every eo so fast. I got 20, 21, which is an excellent mo2 in 99% of situations, so it isn't as if I had nothing and had a reason to keep searching for DRs the entire attempt.

When u think there is no way ur remaining eos will have something better than 8 4b2

edit: 22, 19, 20 = 20.33 fourth-time tied PB mean, with opportunity to finally get sub-20.33 on the next solve :eyes:

So happy that I stumbled upon this early. The other direction of the 2c3 trigger for eo->dr is also 4b2, but this is opt from all variations. afterwards I stopped rzp in 5 and found some other good DR but could not beat 20.

I thought this had a decent chance to beat 20 bc the HTRs are so short, but I didn't find anything. ([D2] R' F2 R) U2 D2 L is HTR in 15.

I don't understand why I don't even have this rzp written down (it's two pairs). I literally recall looking through all +1 rzp with all variations of this eo, and I have (F) written down. Why do I not have this?

this is crazy, I feel like Mallard is looking at a different scram than me. I literally wrote +2s on the other side of this??? +2 on the other side of 3 move eos is the first thing I check. I don't understand why the rzp is not there.

Holy overwhelming scramble.

(L' B R' F)
(R U2 L' D' R D) // 10 2c4 looks bad
My instincts were right, 24 opt with 3ht on either side :skull:

Missed a 20 opt DR from rzp in 5, it's whatever bc I couldn't check every rzp in 5.
SOMEHOW opt from all DRs I checked? But annoying I had DR for 20 and didn't check because there was so much stuff that a random 10 2c4 is low priority.

:( so annoyed. I go on streaks of 5+ solves sup-22 and nothing works. Every solve I have plenty of DRs, but the finish never appears.

Oh, and now I tell myself to stick to my rules and not look at a 5 move eo until I have checked every single sub-5, of course this results in me skimming the last few 4-movers for rzp skip after 30mins and not looking at any 5 movers at all when one of the only 5 movers on an axis has an 18.

23 is opt from both 2c3 vars, opt from both 4b2 vars is 23 with the most unfindable 4qt ever and 24 with 2qt

edit: 21 from other side of the rzp for my 4b2, it has only one pair, but if you invert the move it has two pair. should I be tracing the half turn somehow for this? the 20 is also findable for me this attempt if I had checked that eo first, because I was looking at 4c6e for a while since the scramble is shit and there was a lot of 4c6e. but I got bored of checking every 46 by the time I got to that eo :grimace:

Bruh what an annoying attempt. So much stuff to distract me that I didn't finish checking my eos.

every good sol from mallard is from like a +7-8 to DR which is literally unfindable because there are 9999999 ways to get DR in +7/8 from a 4c4e but it doesn't matter because I know when I click submit literally everyone except me is going to have one of them.
Or rzp in 5 and there is literally not enough time in an hour to check rzp in 5 from four three move eos and 27 four moves eos but somehow everyone else will have found a way to do it. I'm so tilted and I haven't even looked yet. I kinda want to quit.

I solved this first because it has the 3qt jzp and I thought other people might not have it, but I only found 22.

edit: okay so when I solved this slice, after L2 B2 I was at 4x, and 4x takes a minimum of four half turns to solve and there were only two RLFB half turns remaining in the skeleton, so I surmised this meant I needed an insertion before that point, which would make it a minimum of +2 slice. So I just found a +2 and was done with it. I was nervous submitting without actually exhaustively checking slice in +1 even though I was pretty sure it was impossible, so I got really jumpscared by seeing LMR 18 first thing. Luckily that 18 is just some other bullshit :joy:

I'm gonna move in silence on this one.

(R2 D) F2 B2 D2 L R2 D // 11 4a1 4e misery for 1qt

(B U' F')
(L2 U) U2 L2 F2 B2 L D // 11 4a1 4e misery for 1qt
(R) ........ 23 slice
(D2 R)........ 23 slice

(B U' F')
(R2 D', U2 R2 B2 L R2 U) // 11 4a1 2e
R U2 F2 U2 R D2 F2 R' F2 L2 F2 // 22 slice (4x)
+1 normally or +1 in DR line but no +0

Then my DR is literally 22 opt in the easiest fucking way and I just couldn't tell that it was 6 moves to HTR. okay.
It just drives me insane how I could've missed any of the billion DRs I had and it wouldn't matter, but instead the ones I have to miss are the ones I needed to find.

R' (F B2 R') // EO [4/4]
(D', B F2 D2 L2 D') // DR, 2c3 4e [6/10]
(F' D2 L2 F' U2 B') // HTR [6/16]
(L2 B2 D2 L2 U2 L2) // leave slice in 22
slice solved in +1

also:
(...U2 R2 D') // 10 2c3 4e
(F') F2 U2 F' L2 F // 16 HTR
U2 D2 R2 L2 B2 U2 // 22 slice not +0

(F R' L2 U' L')
(F2 D2 F' D F2 D) // 11 2c4

(R' U) D F2 D
U2 L D2 F R' B // 11 4a1 2e pure shite

(U') R' F2 D
R (L2 B L F' R) // 10, both vars 4b5

B R' B2 L' // EO [4/4]
U R2 D2' B2 U' B' // DR, 4b2 2e [6/10]
F2 D R2 D2 L2 D' // HTR ext. [6/16]
R2 B2 L2 U2 B2 // solved in 21
Second solve in a row with instant 21 that I couldn't beat

and from the other var
replace eo with B L' D2 R' // 10 4b2 4e
D R2 B2 D2 R2 U' R2 F2 R2 F2 R2 // 21
tried to insert the 17 to 2e2e but no 20.

L' D' B R
U, R2 F U' B U // 10 4b2 2e/4e

L' D' B R'
D, B R2 B' U' B' D // 11 2c3 4e

B L U D F'
U (U2 F2 L2 D) // 10 4c4

Found my 4b2s and wanted to work on them so I didn't check my 5 movers on inverse, hope there is nothing free from those.

D B' U2 D F // EO [5/5]
U2 R L' F2 L D' // DR, 4a1 4e [6/11]
F2 D2 R // HTR [3/14]
U2 R2 U2 F2 U2 F2 // leave slice in 20
slice solved in +1

all linear on normal found immediately after starting the attempt, then I found so many DRs that it seemed like beating 21 might be possible, but I couldn't do it.

B' U2 D' F
L2 U2 L2 U' R' U // 10 2c3 2e

B' U2 D' F
L2 F2 U2 L2 U' R // 10 4a2 4e (11 to fake HTR jumpscare)

B' U2 D' F
R B2 R2 B2 U R // 10 4c3

(F) R2 U' B
(R' F2 R2 U2 R' D) // 10 4c3

D' F U R'
U B F' D B2 D // 10 2c4

B' U2 D' F
(L D2 L2 ^ D' R D') // 10 2c4
^ = F2 // 11 2c4
(U2 R' B2 R B2 R' B2 R) // HTR in 19 but also instantly M2 U2 M2 U2 from slice, but I can't see how the 2e2e could be resolved in only +1.

edit: ugh I'm so annoyed because I saw that 3c4e case after switching the eo and thought it looked really funny but I tried a few moves and nothing appeared from it

(D' B' R L2 U') // EO [5/5]
B2 D2 L B // DR, 4b2 4e [4/9]
(L') L B2 R2 F2 R' D2 R' // HTR [8/17]
U2 D2 R2 B2 U2 // leave slice in 22
slice solved in +0

after this I found:
(D') F' L U
(F' R2 F R' F L) // 10 4c3
(F' R2 B' U2 B' U2 B U2 B') // 19 HTR
(D2 L2 D2) // 22 slice
I was gonna submit it instead for 5qt aura but somehow it isn't +0

This was an irritating scramble, because it was very rich in RZP so everything took a long time to check, but it was all just worthless.

(L B2 R)
(U B, F2 L2 D U2 B) // 10 2c4, didn't even check it

(R D2 L)
R2 U (U' F B L2 F' D) // 11 4b2 4e many vars, also didn't check because of 9 4b2 distraction

And 10 4c4, 10 2c5, infinite 11 2c4.

(R D2 L')
(D2 F', U F' B' D F B) // 11 2c5, but I finally spotted this trigger!

(F R U2 D L') // EO [5/5]
D2 R2 D2 L2 F // DR, 2c4 [5/10]
U' B2 R2 U' R2 U L2 D // HTR [8/18]
U2 L2 D2 R2 B2 // solved in 23 w +1 slice

So sad after 18. I didn't have this eo at first then I investigated an eo that wasn't working and realized I didn't write this.

D' (F' D) // eo [3/3]
[D2] L U2 R L2 F // 8 4c4 :( so extend
R2 U2 L' B' U2 L2 B' // DR, 4b2 2e [7/10]
L2 F2 L D2 R B2 // 4x in 16!
after eo:
R2 U2 L' B F2 D2 R2 B // 11 4b2 2e, 4x from other DR
F2 L2 B2 R U2 L B2 // solved in 18!

Second 18, first not official!
