not the most pleased with this, got overwhelmed on the scramble. There are groups of eos that I did not even get to, so I'll be sad if one of those has a free sub-21.
Luckily mallard cannot beat 21 on any variation of this DR.

ugh 23 in FMCL is painful bc u know it's gonna be bottom 50%
I misrecognized this as a 4c4 somehow (?????) and I unironically spent time checking (D' L' F2 L' D L) instead bc it's a +2 extension that "turns it into a 2c4" when it's literally just already a 2c4. okay. At least I had time to find 4qt optimal... 22 opt with 6qt. fucking lmfao.

D R' D2 B'

21 opt. I had a different 11 2c4 from this rzp. I should've found this one too, but not like I would've checked it, because I didn't even check the one I had.

L2 U2 L' D2 L' U'  // drlr-eofb [2c3 4e] (6/11)
22 opt and it's free. Totally neglected switching the 3-mover bc I didn't have enough time. And this is an insta switch rzp too, so I definitely would've found this if I had checked. I have a feeling this is the 22 everyone is gonna have.

Didn't have time to check this DR super well because I foolishly found it kinda late, so was not confident in this being optimal, but it is. I'm lucky opt is from the shortest linear 2qt HTR. I think 22 is pretty much the best thing on this scramble so yay

(F') U' B'
L D (R U2 R2 B2 R' U) // 11 4c3, 2 vars
Both vars are kinda doodoo (25 opt) but you can do

which leads to
(F' R U2 R2 B2 R' U D2 R) U' B' D // new 12 4c3
which immediately looks a lot better, indeed it's 24 opt and I found an instant 25 backup from it.

one var is 24 opt

but I missed a different var from the DR line:

found this last minute after having my 22 because I didn't check the 2+2 earlier :grimace:
U B (L' F)
(D', R2 F2 L U' R2 U) // 11 4b5
but it has 14 to fake HTR so it's a huge bait DR. Even if it were a 4b2, let's be honest, I've missed a 22 from 14 to HTR before.

Okay so my first mean after getting 21.67 official and missing 21.00 by stupidly getting opt+2 on a DR where I was right on the verge of having opt, I did the same thing again in league. Nice.

Edit: my new PB average of 12 = 22.00
Time List:
22.00, 23.00, 21.00, 23.00, 21.00, (24.00), (20.00), 24.00, 21.00, 23.00, 22.00, 20.00

Really irritated. I had the eo for the 18 marked to switch, but obviously I didn't because at 32 minutes with an 8+3 surely you are better off having longer to work on it than the tiny chance you find something better than 8+3. Then I literally started with 5qt HTRs because this 4c3 is a case that is likely 5qt, my very first HTR I tried was (D R2 D R2 B2 U'F2 U F2 U) and I spent a long time on (D R2 D) start, even switched it, and you can find the 20 just as easily that way, but I never found it. You even have the same HTR pattern on normal and I tried the necessary trigger from that side, but didn't think to try it from inverse.

Kinda getting discouraged by never finding the correct thing for good singles. Surely just by chance sometime it has to be the thing I check first?

At least I've learned something: on that 2c4 2e case, since you can do the first qt either direction, one of them will always have the correct parity to do the U F2 U F2 R2 U trigger, so you can always try it for an 8 move HTR.

Locked in on this 2c3 because of 2x2x2 block, and this leave slice actually totally preserves the block. Not much else on this scramble. This DR has a 4c3 variation too with D L B2 R' L2 U.

There is a 22 from (F2 L) B' D2 R but I didn't have time to get to my (1)+4 or (2)+3 niss eos, only checked the ones with the longer section on inverse. That's the only 22 from rzp in 5. There are some with rzp in 6 from linear 5-movers, but I only checked rzp in 6 on niss eos (probably why I didn't get through all of them). That's tough.

this was an unlucky slice to +1, there are three VR in +0 and one has a toggle but no +0 :(

Attempts are pmo recently, it's like no matter the scramble quality no good DR appears. I had this and some 11 2c4 from the same eo, and also this:

B' D (D' L U')
B (R L B L' B) // 11 2c4
from a cool eo, but it's really bad. No sub-11 DRs found.

(U F' U) // EO [3/3]
(R) B R // DR, 2c5 [3/6]
D2 F' (U2 F' D2 F' L2 F L2 D2 L2 U2 B) // HTR [13/19]
(L2) // leave slice in 20
slice solved in +0

New shortest DR PB! I saw four pairs and shit myself then I traced the E edges and realized it was +2 and a six move DR and immediately switched. One EO checked. 50 minutes to find this sol, I had only a 22 until the last minute. First time not checking a 2-move eo on a scramble, lmao.

Probably also the first time I have gotten 1 move to slice after HTR

(D R B D2 L') // EO [5/5]
(D') % D B' U' // DR, 4c4 [4/9]
% = B2 // extend to 10 2c4 [1/10]
(U2 F' L2 D2 B R2 B' R2 B) // HTR [9/19]
(L2 D2 B2 L2) // leave slice in 23
slice solved in +1

30mins on 9 4c4 + two 10 2c4s from extension and this is the best I could do 😔

L' R B' R // EO [4/4]
(D B, U B2 L2 U' B) // DR, 4a2 2e [7/11]

another 23 finish: (U') [R2] F2 L2 F2 L2 D B2 R L' B2 R L

Only sub-12 DR I found on the scramble.

nothing else but
R' F' D
(L B) U2 L2 F2 L B // bad 10 2c4

also, from the 4c4:
F' (F L2 F2 D2 R2 D2 R2) // 17 to 3c+S
but I didn't try to solve this. I wonder if it can beat 23 with outside of DR insertion.

Edit: that's opt from the 4c4 lOl, but the 2c4 is 22 opt and I didn't find it even though I spent way more time on the 2c4

not enough time to convince myself it doesn't have a 19, but yay

L (D' L')
(D B' D B2 L2 B' D) // 10 4b5
rzp into 3c4e woah, wish every DR except the one weren't 5qt

Edit: I didn't know of that extension, especially not since I found this by doing R as rzp for the other axis, then checking my ARM and realizing I had JZP and 4c2e, so I never even looked at this axis without the R done already.

Including last two solves from last week: 21, 21, 20 = 20.67 PB mo3 :)

U' D' (B D) // EO [4/4]

L2 B U2 B D2 F // HTR [6/18]
U' D R2 U' D // solved in 23-2 = 21

This is a +1 extension of an 11 move DR that offsets E slice by 4x. If you use the 11 move DR, you can also get a 21 the exact same way but the HTR sequence is +1 for slice, but I wrote this one bc 12+9 is more fun.

22, 21, 21 = 21.33!

(R') F R // EO [3/3]

additional two slices in 20 from this, both not +0

additional slice in 20, not +0 from
(B R2 U')
(L2 F B L' F L) // 9 4b2 2e

Most unhappy I've been with a 21. Completely positive there is something better that I'm stupid for not finding.

(L' B' D' B2 U') // EO (4c2e+JZP) [5/5]
L2 F D2 F // DR, 2c5 with JZP on both sides [4/9]
(R D2 R) B2 R D2 R D2 R' // HTR [9/18]
B2 F2 D2 F2 // leave slice in 22
slice solved in +0

Something ridiculous about this DR is that I found this first:
(L' B' D' B2 U') L2 B R2 B'
(R') R F2 R F2 R' F2 R // HTR in 17
F2 R2 D2 F2 D2 // leave slice in 22
But this one doesn't +0 bruh. luckily I found both before solving either, so once this one didn't +0 I went straight to the other one and it was +0 with one of the first things I tried.

Edit: somehow this one does +0 apparently, and I have the correct widenings to +0 marked on my sheet as a VR in +0, but not as solved. That's weird.

(U' R' B' L' U) // EO [5/5]
(R) F B2 R' F2 U2 L // DR, 2c3 4e [7/12]
F' D2 F R2 U2 B' // HTR [6/18]
R2 F2 R2 U2 F2 // leave slice in 23
slice solved in +1

Edit: lol someone else found the exact same 24 from rzp in 6 -> DR in 12. I found this right away and spent the rest of the attempt looking for better DRs and this was all I found:
U R F L U'
B R2 F U2 F2 R // 11 4b2 4e
But it seems to be terrible.

(U D) B' U // EO [4/4]
(L' B' R2 L2 B R') // DR, 4c3 [6/10]
(L2 F' D2 F2 L2 F' L2 U2 R2 D2 F) // HTR [11/21]
(D2 R2) // leave slice in 23
slice solved in +1

the bizarre long HTR through 4b2 0e was to preserve a block, I already had 23 slice (not +0) from a normal route when I found this.

another evil 4c3. pretty sure there is something better with 5qt which I was on the verge of finding, but idk. my past two solves with 2-move EOs on the scramble have been 24s.

(U D) B' U
(L') L2 F L2 B F' R // 11 2c4
F' D2 F (B' D2 F) // miraculous HTR in 17

Edit: Circled moves in attached image is Enrico's 22. I found it, but then I came back to it and it didn't work, because I didn't write the F2 which should be before my first D2. I assumed I found it after undoing moves wrong so I didn't try very hard to make it work. Can someone explain how every single person somehow found sub-23s with 5 move EOs and rzp in 6 when there is a two move eo? I didn't even write a 5-mover and I hardly even checked rzp in 5 😭

U (F D' R D') // EO [5/5]
(L2 U2 L B' L F') // DR, 4b2 2e [6/11]
(R2 B2 U2 R B2 L) // HTR [6/17]
(B2 U2 D2 L2 F2 D2) // solved in 23

You can write this as a 20 to wrong slice but it just +3s into the same finish.

This DR has eight variations, six of which are 4b2 2e, and two of which are 4b2 8e. Seems very likely there is a sub-23 from one of them, but I just didn't have enough time to check everything.

Backup 24 from early in the attempt:
U (D' R D)
(B', R F2 L' D2 R B) 11 2c4
(L) L F2 L' F2 L // 17 HTR
F' B' L2 F2 R2 F B // really funny finish for 24, for a second I thought it canceled for a 22 but I forgot the (L) from HTR.

Edit: I could've written down another extra fifty 5-movers beyond what I had before I would've gotten to that specific extension for a 20. Howww

U2 F B L' // EO [4/4]
U' F, B2 U $ F' D F' // DR, 2c4 2e [7/11]
$ = R2, new DR 4b2 4e [+1/12]
U2 F2 U F2 R2 D // HTR [6/18]
L2 B2 U2 F2 // solved in 22 no leave slice

This instantly spawned less than 15min into attempt, when I was preparing for the worst due to the lack of eos. This rzp has 11 4b2 2e on inverse, but I spent most of the rest of the attempt looking for DRs and didn't check it very well. I don't think it has a 21.

My only sub-11 DR:
D2 F B R'
U' B (D' B' U' B) // 10 4c4
edit: this has a (findable) 22 also

(F U' B') // EO [3/3]
(D) R L' D' R D // DR, 2c3 4e [6/9]
R (R' U2 D2 R' B2 [R B2 L]) // HTR [9/18] w 22 to slice -> 23
[] = (R' B2 L2 F2 L) // insert 2e2e [+2/20]
(F2 U2) // new 22 slice, solves in +0 for 22 final

look at this unbelievable DR that I wish I could've used:
(D L2 B' R) // EO, DR-7c8e
(U2 R2 B2 U' D' F D B) // 12 0c0 8e????????????????
F2 R2 U F2 B2 D2 R2 L2 D F2 B2 // 22 slice, there is another variation too, but solving slice is so incredibly cursed on this subset so it's probably like +3

R' L B' U2 R // EO [5/5]
(U' D F2 L2 U' B) // DR, 4b2 4e, one of three vars [6/11]
(D') L2 D2 F2 R2 F2 D' // HTR [7/18]
R' L' B2 R' L // solved in 23

U R B U2 L'
D (B L2 F' D) // 10 2c4
a million 23s and I am POSITIVE this has a 22 but it did not reveal itself to me :(

edit: 10 2c4 is in fact 23 opt so I got opt from both my DRs at least

D2 B R2 F // EO [4/4]
L (F2 U' L') // DR, 4a2 4e [4/8]
B2 U' (B2 R2 B2 L2 U') // HTR [7/15]
(R2 U2 F2 R2 L2) // leave slice in 20
slice solved in +1
four slices in 20 but the way these 4a2s work, if one isn't +0 then none are for some reason.

i found (D2 B) D F B eo which is neat.
