Slice solved in +1

I got to 30 minutes with zero DRs, then I found a few on the last eos I checked between 30-40min, but with so little time I was only able to look at a few things from each DR.

(U'D2 R B' D')
(F2 U2 D2 F U2 F) // 11 2c4 w jzp

(B2 U L2 F' D)
(U2 L' U2 L R2 F) // 11 4b2 4e

(B2 U L2 F' D)
(L) B2 R' D2 L // 10 4b2 4e
This seems like clearly the best DR, but I just didn't find anything.

Edit: ugh, the other variation of my DR is 21 opt. I looked at instant qt on inverse and the bound was bad, but you needed to do (U2 [D2]) before qt.

U2 B R B // EO [4/4]
U' D R U2 L' F2 R // DR, 2c4 jzp + vars [7/11]
(D' R2 F2 U' B2 U' B2 U2 B2 U') // solved in 21???
I actually found it as wrong slice from R' D2 L finish to the DR, but you can immediately solve it in +0 with the very first thing to try

edit: huge skill issue not finding some other 21s.
first, I wrote the 2+2 EO for jibo/lmr's 21, but I wrote R' D instead of R D, and when the eo didn't work, instead of troubleshooting I just assumed I messed up tracing it and moved on, I could've simply done D' R2 D on my cube and I would've had it.
second, although I never would've found the reduction for 19, I didn't even find the 21 from Wen's DR even though I spend so long on it. I even had a 22 slice from an R L U2 R L style finish like that starting with F2 D2 F, but I think I got bored of the DR and wanted to check other stuff before looking at F2 U2 F (remember it has two vars on inverse, and the 21/19 are from the one that IMO looks worse, I checked the other var more thouroughly but this one had longer HTRs)

B' L' B // EO [3/3]
(R' U) R L U2 F2 D' // DR, 4a2 2e [7/10]
(U' D R2 U D') // extend DR with slice to set up qt reduction [5-2/13]
(R') L // HTR [2/15]
(U2 F' B D2 F B) // leave slice in 21
slice solved in +2 for 23 but it's 28 qtm lol

from the same DR:
R D2 R2 D2 U2 B2 U2 R' D2 F2 D2 F2 // slice in 22

R' U L2 D
(R' L2 B2 U2 B R) // 10 4a2 4e with two variations on each side
(D2 R2 F' U2 F2 D2 R2 B U2 R2 L2 F2) // slice in 22
+ 1 million other slices in 22, none +0

B' L B
(U2 L U2 L U' D R) // crazy trigger for 10 2c4 (2 variations)

(L2 D') U' F2 L2 U' F2 U' // HTR [8/16]
F2 L2 D2 B2 R2 // solved in 21 yay
no other outstanding DRs so this was nice, I guess +13 is fine for 8e, but I had the thought that it's technically a 3qt jzp DR since it's 8e so you can slice with the other axis on the other side. But I couldn't find a way to take advantage of that.

F D' R' F
(D B2 D' L2 D L') // 10 4a2 4e
(U2 B2 U F2 U2 L2 D L2 D2 L2 F2 D2) // slice in 22
this was my backup but I'm pretty sure it's not +0

R F' D L
D' F2 D' R2 D' F // 10 0c4

F D' R' F
L // dr-2c
there are like eight 4b2 4e in 11 variations from this from aufing into 5 move dr-2c trigger from both sides
I also really wanted to find something like this:
[L2] B2 U2 R2 F2 R2 D // HTR-3c in 11
The DR-2c is 3c from a 4a1 4e, and if you assume an 8-2 insertion, that makes it as good as an 11 4a1 4e. But I didn't find anything from that.

bruh

if this +0s I'm almost sure it's 3qt optimal bc of some bounding stuff

(U B F2 D B' D') // extend eo to 6
F2 L' B' R F // now it's 11 4c3

(R2 D' B2 D L2 D' L2 D') // HTR [8/19]
(L2 F2 R2 U2) // solved in 23
safety I found right away then I spent the rest of the attempt getting nothing at all from the 9 2c3's:

L F2 R
D' B', D2 F U' F // 9 2c3 2e
(F2 L2 D' B2 R2 U' L2 D) // 17 HTR

(B2 L2 D' L2 D F2 R2 D) // 17 HTR
(R2 F B U2 F' B') // 22 slice, no +0

whatever man

also:

(L' U2 F2 L B) // 10 2c3 6e

(B D) B2 D' // EO [4/4]
B L2 B' L2 F' L // DR, 2c3 2e [6/10]
B (R2 F2 L2 F D2 R2 B') // HTR [8/18]
(D2 B2 L2 U2) // leave slice in 22
slice solved in +0

like right away in the attempt I found this:
(L') F B2 L
(B) U B2 D F2 D2 F' // 11 2c3 2e vars
(U' R2 B2 U' L2 U' L2 F2 R2 U2) // slice in 21
but I couldn't even find a +1 even tho it's VR skip

edit: aww, I wrote this 4c3 0e everyone got 21 from as my first DR but I didn't even check it

D F' B2 U' // EO [4/4]
B2 D2 R' B2 L // DR, 2c4 [5/9]
D2 B' L2 B R2 B' R2 B // HTR [8/17]
U2 B2 U2 L2 F2 L2 // leave slice in 23
slice solved in +0

ts event pmo
first of all this DR is 22 opt from U2 F' R2 F L2 F' L2 F which I wrote and solved in 24 moves

second of all YET AGAIN TO NO ONE'S SURPRISE it's 21 opt by extending to an 11 4b2 like this: B' D2 B D2 R D2 L'
I can barely solve 4c6e anyway so not like I would ever find that

F' R L' D' // EO [4/4]
B, F2 U2 L D2 R2 B // DR, 2c3 4e vars [7/11]
R' D2 R' L2 F2 L' // HTR [6/17]
B2 U2 D2 L2 B2 // solved in 22
free linear 22 from this early in att when it was the best DR I had and it was set up to trigger so I tried the HTRs. afterwards I found a lot of better DRs and could not beat this:

(L D2 B' D)
U2 D2 B2 R B // 9 4a1 4e :astonished:
this is apparently 22 opt so I guess I wasted the whole attempt on it

(L D2 B' D)
(R B2 L R' F) // 9 4c3
super evil 23 opt that I would've never ever found
there wasn't that much stuff to check on this anyway

(F' B' L' D)
(R, B2 F R D2 R) // 10 4b2 2e
you can get 22 from this with 2qt but I didn't even find it.

So I got 22 opt from all my DRs from the 11 move DR and all my good subset 9-10 movers were pointless

(L D2 B' D)            // eoud               (4/4)
                       // rzplr-eoud         (0/4)
(R2 B2 L2 D2 R D2 F')  // drlr-eoud [4a1 4e] (7/11)
D2 F2 L'               // htr-drlr           (3/14)
(B2 D2)                // frud               (2/16)
(L2 R2 F2)             // fin                (3/19)
when will I ever do an attempt where optimal isn't from a +2 extension to a DR?

(L D2 B' D)       // eoud               (4/4)
                  // rzplr-eoud         (0/4)
D2 F2 L' F2 U2 B  // drlr-eoud [4a1 4e] (6/10)
D2 L'             // htr-drlr           (2/12)

B2 L2 B2          // fin                (3/20)
I mean jesus christ. This one makes me mad because I had a 9 4a1 so of course I specifically undid the DR and looked for extensions, but I just didn't find it.

That's all I missed. Scramble findable is +3 worse if you don't extend a DR.

(B L' F) // EO [3/3]
(D) R' F2 D L' U' // DR, 2c3 4e [6/9]
B2 L U2 R' B2 L // HTR [6/15]
F2 B2 U F2 U D R2 U2 R2 D // solved in 25-2 = 23
never been more pissed off from an attempt in my life.

I don't have the ability to finish DRs anymore. I haven't solved an HTR and found a case that isn't miserable in like a full week.

(B L' F)

didn't find shit from a single one. every single thing I tried is just trash.

(B2 L' U) // EO [3/3]
(R2 B R2 F' D2 L) // DR, 4b2 2e [6/9]
this has instant htr in 14, htr in 13 on the other side, but I just couldn't get it to work.
(B2 L' U')
(L2 F' D2 B U2 L) // now it's 9 4b2 4e
(B2 D2 F' U2 L2 B) // HTR [6/15]

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.

(R2 F' L D)       // eoud               (4/4)

Super findable, these extensions were some of the eos I would normally check that I didn't get to.

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'
U (D2 L' B2 L' D) // 10 2c3 4e
23 opt stupidly and 24 opt reasonably

D2 R' B'
L', D' B2 L2 U D2 L // 10 2c4
again super hard 23 opt but I had a 24

R D2 R' B
(U2 B2 U L U R) // 10 4b5
24 opt but I didn't try to solve it

(U D2 R F' L')          // eolr               (5/5)
(D2 L2 D)               // drfb-eolr [4c5 0e] (3/8)
21 opt. 4b5 0e ftw, but I would never extend 4-movers on this scram

D2 R' B                 // eofb               (3/3)
U' L                    // rzpud-eofb         (2/5)
F2 L2 D2 F2 D' R'       // drud-eofb [2c4 4e] (6/11)
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.

D2 R' B            // eofb               (3/3)
(R' U)             // rzplr-eofb         (2/5)
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.

D2 R' B'                  // eofb               (3/3)

L D2 L F2 D               // drlr-eofb [2c3 4e] (5/10)
22 opt. I looked at this RZP... I can't believe I got beaten by auf into the ugly 4-mover :sob:

(L' U2 D R) // EO [4/4]
R2 F2 U' B D' F' // DR, 4b2 2e [6/10]
(L2 U2 B2 U' R2 D') // HTR [6/16]
(R2 D2 R2 B2 R2) // leave slice in 21
slice solved in +1
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
(D2 R) // 13 fake HTR
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.

(L' U2 D R')

one var is 24 opt

(F L' R D R)

24 opt
but I missed a different var from the DR line:
L2 F2 U' F2 L2 B' // 11 2c4, 22 opt

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

slice solved in +1

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.

U B2 D B // EO [4/4]

U' (U2 R2 U' F2 L2 D') // HTR [7/18]

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 😔
