(D U2 R)
(L2 F2 L2 D' B') // 8 4b2
F2 U B2 U2 R2 F2 L2 U
R2 L2 U2 // 19 to slice
+2

20 is possible from the other variation of this DR but the path is actually ridiculous

had 0 DRs until the last EO I checked had 2 separate DRs which gave 21+1 lol

I also somehow managed to misscramble both inverse cubes in the same way at the start of the attempt which I only realized after writing 23 EOs that didn't work :(

(U) L2 B' U'
F (L' F2 U2 L B) // 10 2c3 4e
(R' D2 R U2 F2 U2 D2 L)
(U2 F2 R2 F2) // 21 to slice +1

(U) L2 B' U'
L' (U' F B2 R' F2 U2 R) // 11 2c3 4e with var
F2 L2 F' U2 L2 F' L2 F
B2 L2 B2 R2 // 22 to solved, can't reduce

(F) L B 
L2 F2 U' R D' R // 9 4c3
L2 U F2 U L2// start solving HTR
B2 U2 B2 D R2 L2 // just see the finish lol

Actually insane scramble, I thought for sure 22 would be bad but it turns out it is optimal out of the 8 (!!!) viable DRs I checked, many having variations

D R D B U // EO
(B' D2 B L') // 9 2c3
R2 F' D2 F (U2 L2 D2 L2 F) // HTR
(D2 L2 F2 U2 F2) // 22

Others:

L U F
U D R' D2 L' U L2 D // 11 2c3 rzp into 46

L' F' R' D' L F2 D F B' U/B2 U F B' D // 10 4b2 with 66

(L B L' D' L' D2 B F U B' U') // 11 2c3
(L B L' D' L' B R2 F2 U B' U) // 11 4b2

(D B' R F' D) R F R' D2 R2 F // 11 4a2 4e with variations from 34

(D' L' R2 F' U' F' L' D2 L F) // 10 2c3 from 22

(D) R' U L' B L F' D2 F2 L // 10 2c3 with variations from RZP into 34

21 is possible but i decided not to check the 5 move NISS eos

(F R U2 F) // EO
(U' L' U R D) // 9 2c3 2e using the trigger
B2 D2 L' F2 L F2 R // HTR
F2 U' D L2 U D' // leave slice 21
+1

also
(F2 B2 L' D2 L' D2 R B F' R2 F B) // 21 to slice, +1
(D' L F2 U2 L' B2 L' U D B2 U' D') // 20 to slice, +2
(D' R) L2 U2 L' U2 R F2 U2 // 2e + slice -> again 21 to slice, again not +0

there is 21 and I was close to it but it's kinda tricky.
D2 L2 U2 R F2 L' F2 U2 F2 R2 F2 R'

I also had the 9+2s but forgot to look at them oops, good thing they didn't beat 22

F' B (R L' B) 
(R') U2 R U2 L // 10 2c3 2e
(U' L2 F2 D L2 D') // HTR
(F2 R2 U2 B2) // nice

only other DR was L' B' R D L' B' D B D B // 10 4b5 lol

B D F // EO
(B2 L D R2 U) // 8 4b2 6e
L2 B2 R // reduce to 1q

(B2 L U R2 L2 B2 U L) // extend DR to solve HTR in 14

B D F (B2 L U R2 L2 B2 U L) 
F' L2 B2 R // HTR variation
D2 F2 D2 L2 F2 R2 // finish


I also had a cool 21 from the DR which I was a little bit sad didn't give better:

L2 U2 B2 L' D2 R // HTR, but also almost triple slice
(B2 L U' F2 D2 B2 D') // +2 to triple slice
(F2 Fw2) // leave double slice in 18
+2+1

This was fun, except I kept finding exactly 21 off of the same DR set

(F L) R D R' // EO/36 2p
(U2 D2 F U2 D' B') // 11 4b2 2e
B2 D L2 U F2 R2 U2 R2 U' D' // 21

R D R' B2 D L2 D (F L U2 D2 F D') // 
D' U F2 U' D B' U2 F2 U2 F2 // another 21

(F L U2 D2 F D') R D R' B2 D' U2 R2 D' F // another HTR off of DR variation
U D B2 L2 D2 R2 U D' // another 21

U R2 D' B' L' // extended EO
(D' B2 L2 U' B') // 10 2c4
(L2 D') F2 U F2 L2 U F2 R2 U' // HTR
B2 D2 B2 // finish

trolled yet again

this is a fun one (lol wtf i didn't write the 4 move EO)

U' D2 R D // EO
(B R' L B2 L D2 L2 F) // 12 4b2   (F2 D2 F2 B' R F2 L gives 11 2c4)
F2 L U2 R // HTR

U' D2 R D F2 L U2 R // normal moves so far

U' D2 R D F2 R B2 L (B D2 {R)
[U2 D2 B] // HTR in 14
{R2 U2 D2 z2 // double slice in 17

[] = D2 F' B L2 F' B2 // +3
{} = L2 U2 L R' B2 L' // +2

this is what I get for trying to do airport FMC

F' L F' U
(B' L2 B R) // 10 
(F2 R2 L2 U2 F L2 B)
(D2 B2 D' U F2 R2 F2 B2 U D') // 23

I do not want to do fmc right now, i found this quickly and was so happy that I could just end the attempt lol

(F) B L U F
D' L' U' D2 R
F2 U' F2 R2 D'
F' B' R2 U2 F B

D2 R2 U2 D2 B2 R2 // leave slice 23
+0

what a weird scramble. Lots of switching on weird RZPs, but this is the only DR I had that was worth anything.
After a while I kind of gave up and just looked at the R L F U' B block start which was kind of funny, I found a 24 from it:

R L F U' B // EO
(L2 U') // more blocks
R' D' R' U R' F2 R' *F2 R2 // leave 2e2e (16)
*F2 U' F' U F' L2 B D' B' L2 // 24

(F2 L' B U D) // EO
U2 R' F' L // 9 4b2
U2 B' L2 B R2 B R2 B F2 U2 R2 D2 R2 D2 // leave S in 23 but it's obviously better than that

U2 R' F' L U2 {B' L2 B R2 B F2} [U2 R2 D2 R2 D U'] B' L F2
[] = U D B2 D2 B2 // reduce
{} = F D2 F L2 B' // solved in 19

L D' (L2 D)
R (B' U2 F U2 R) // 10 2c3 4e
B2 R2 F' D2 L2 F L2 F // HTR
R2 B2 R2 U2 R2 // 22 LS
+0

D' (L F' D) // EO
F' (L2 F' L2 B) // 9 2c3
L' F2 L' D2 L' // fake HTR, but this means...
(F2 R2 F D2 B) // swap the DR line with this for real HTR
(D2 L2 U2) // slice in 18
+1

Good thing this was here because I also had:
(R2 F2 R U F) L' U2 L' U2 L F // 11 4a1 4e, unique 23 optimal is BS
(D) D F2 U F R L (F2 L2 B' D2 B' L) // 13 4a1 4e with 17 to HTR on the non variation side, but also difficult 23 optimal

Also cool DR:
B (F B' U' F' B') // this 6 move EO
(L D' F2 U2 R) // 11 4c3
one of these days I will get a final solution with that 6 mover...

i don't think ive ever had this EO count before

U' R (L F' R) // EO
(U' B D' F D') // 10 4c4
(F D2 F) B R2 D2 B2 D2 B // HTR
U2 L2 F2 L2 F2 // 23 to slice
+0


idk how I didn't see the DRs from (B) U L F B but oops

what a roller coaster of a solve

L U' R' L2 D // EO
L // 4e4c 3 pairs!! 21 ARM!!! but it's all on the same face
(L' B2 U2 R2 B L) // 12 2c3 2e
F' U2 F2 D2 F' R2 F' D2 L2 D2 L2 // okay it's 22 to slice lol
+1

But then:
L U' R' L2 D L (L' F2 D2 L2 B R') HTR equiv variation
D2 F' U2 R2 F D2 B R2 F B // finish in 22 ??

L2 U' (R D')
F (R' F2 B L B') // 4b2 8e
L' (U2 B2 L2 F2 R') // HTR
F B' L2 F' B // 21 to slice
+1

R' B R' L' // EO
(B) U' L2 U' F B // 10 2c3 4e 
(D' R2 D') D2 B2 R2 L2 U // HTR
F2 B2 R2 // leave E slice (21)
+0

R' B R' L' U' L2 U' [F B U2 F2 R2 L2] U F2 B2 L2 U B2 U B'
[] this section looks funny
[] = U2 B2 L2 F' B' R2 // 20

But then I tried DR flipping

R' B R' L' [U' L2 D] (F U D') // 10 2c3 again
(B' U2 F' D2 F') // HTR
[] = D' B2 U R2 B2 R2 D2 // 19 to slice
+0

18.67 possible on this set trolling

U (D2 B D) // EO
B [R U2 L'] B R2 B' // 11 4a1 4e
R // lol
D2 R2 F2 U2 L2 U2 B2 // 19 to slice
it's +2, but...
[] = L F2 R L2 // +1 outside of DR :P

edit: the 19 actually seems pretty reasonable but i forgot to check that DR extension 

oops i forgot to check the (R L) F' B L EO

L F' R' // EO
F' B' D (F' U' B U) // 10 4b2 4e, +3 RZP go brr
(R2 F) R' L F2 R L' F // HTR
D2 B2 L2 D2 // ok i should have found this linearly on inverse

Other:
F' R' F L' U (F' L2 D2 F B2 U) // 11 4b2
(R) D' F B' L (F2 L2 D' B) // 9 4c3,  thought it was 4b4 until like 7 minutes left. 20 optimal but no sub 22s with 5qt
(L B R' U' L') (F D' B2 U F) // 10 2c3 6e, 14 optimal, though I did find a 23 inserting 2e2e in the DR part

(R2 D') // EO
(F' B R) B2 U2 R D2 R' // JZP
M' F2 M F2 // edge 3 cycle which solves a ton of pieces
U2 B D2 B D2 B D2 // just solve the slice 

B2 U2 [R D2 R'] {U2 B D2 B D2 B} D2 R' B' F D R2 // evan impression in 17
[] = L' R2 F2 L R2 // +2
{} = F' B L2 B R2 B R2 F // +2

I thought (B2 D) gave 6e on the infinite variation L D2 R' EOs whoops

actually throwing

D2 B2 U' B // EO
(L2 F2 D' R U) // 9 2c3 6e
(L' F2 U2 L') F2 R2 B2 U2 R // HTR
U2 D2 L2 F2 D2 // 23

I was playing with (B U D) R U' B U2 B U2 B for so long :(

D F2 R' // EO, premade 3c6e
B D' B' F2 U // 8 2c4
F2 R2 F (B U2 B R2 B') // HTR
(U2 R2 D2 R2 F2) // slice in 20
+1

Other:

(F' B' D L')
(R2 F' R2 F' U)
R2 F D2 B' L2 U2 D2 B
L2 U2 B2 R2 L2 // 22

Oops I completely miscounted the pairs on the (F U2 D' R) EO and thought it wasn't worth switching :(

(L F2 U L') // EO
(F) F2 D B' D B // 10 4b2 4e
(U' F2 L2 D') // HTR
(R2 F2 U2 B2 D2 F2 L2) // 21 to slice
+0

Also had this almost instantly: F L' U D B U' R2 F2 U' D L' D' F2 D' R2 B2 D' B2 R2 B2 // 20 to slice +2. Spent most of the attempt on that DR but 22 is optimal

(F' B2 U' R B) // EO, 3c4e, 21 arm
R D' F2 B2 L // it's actually just that case no way
D' F2 B2 D2 B2 D' // HTR
L2 F2 R2 D2 R2 // 21

I was pretty desperate on this attempt because none of the EOs I checked wanted to give RZP. The only other sub 12 DRs I had were these: D' R' L F' L F U2 F2 D2 B D'/F' D' B2 D' B' D which were 11 4a1 6e/4e, which I had 23 off of.

This scramble was so annoying...

(L2 D2 B L) // EO
(U' R2 B F2 D') // 9+5
F L2 B' D2 F R2 F' R2 F // HTR
B2 D2 F2 D2 L2 // solved in 23
optimal slice

Also had this other 23 from 22 to slice, this time with 4qt
(L2 D2 B L) R2 U2 B2 L2 U' B
U' L2 U' R2 U R2 U' // moves I did to just solve the cube
B2 F2 R2 F2 U2 // slice in 22
+1

Every DR I tried just had a terrible subset

F (R2 B' U F) U' L U' R2 U // 10 4b4 (5c4e)
F' L2 B2 L (U2 R2 B2 R2 F' D B) // 11 4b5 (of course I miss the 6 to 10 2c3 2e from this RZP)
F' L2 B2 L' D' F2 L2 U2 F' D' B // 11 2c4
R2 F2 L' U (F' D' B2 D' B' D) // 10 2c5 with cool trigger
R2 F2 L' U (F' U2 F2 D2 B D) // 10 2c3 6e, +14 optimal
U B' R2 U B2 F2 L' U2 F // 9 2c5
(B) F2 L D2 F' L2 U D2 R D2 R // 11 2c4

U' L U B' D // EO
(L2 D2 L2 B' F2 L) // 11 2c3 4e
(U2 L2 B' U2 L2 F D2 F) // HTR
(U D F2 U D) // finsh -2 for 22
idk what I was doing when I didn't find the DR on normal from this EO, there was some weird misscramble stuff going on when I was checking them so maybe that caused it idk

22 feels so bad for this scramble lol

F2 R' U2 F' // EO
R (F2 U2 R' B2 R) // DR
U' F2 L2 F2 U R2 D R2 U' // HTR
B2 L2 D2 // 22 to M slice
L' D2 L R' B2 R // nice

Other stuff I looked at:
F2 R' U2 F L D2 L D // 8+ bad
F2 R' U2 F D2 L D2 L D // 9 2c4
F2 R' U2 F L D' B(w)2 D' L D // 10 4b2

Also this 5c4e but it's 4b5 of course: (F2 U L2 B) F R U2 B2 R' F

(R' U2 B D' L') // EO
(R2 F' R2 U) // 9 2c3
L2 F' U2 B' D2 F // HTR
U2 R2 U' D' B2 L2 U D // 23-2 = 21

I got kind of distracted with (R' D' U2 B L') F B' U2 R2 F U and variations so it was good that the optimal was linear like this.

3 different 22s :(

F D (F2 D) // EO
(R' D2 R U2 R) // 9 2c3 2e
U2 R2 B' U2 F U2 F // HTR
L2 U2 D2 // double slice in 19
+1 RL, +2 FB

F D' (F2 D) // EO
(R' D2 R U2 R) // 9 2c3 2e
R2 B' U2 F D2 R2 B' // HTR
U2 R2 D2 R2 // another 19 to double slice
another +1 on RL, +2 on FB AGAIN >:(

D R2 B // EO
L' U' (F2 R2 B2 U' R2 D) // 11 4a1 2e
L U2 D2 L D2 L2 D2 L' // extended HTR
F2 U2 // leave UD slice in 20
+2 UGH

Optimal for 11 4a1 is 22 which I had, optimal for the 2c3 is 20. You need 2 half turns before the trigger which I didn't think I had enough time to try :(

(R') L' U R // EO
F B (L2 D B D B') // 11 2c3 with R F B
(L2 D B2 L2 U L2 U) // HTR
(L2) // wait for it...
(F' B' R2 F B) // 5-5 cancel!!! (leaves 2e +e slice)

L' U R' F B L2 ... L2 B D' B' D' L2 R // 
... = U' L2 U R2 F2 U2 L2 D // 21 :D

(D2 B L) // EO
(U' B' F2 U' R2 D) // 9 4b2 6e
F2 R2 B U2 F // HTR
L2 U2 L2 B2 L2 B2 D2 // leave slice
+0

I also had this:
D2 F B' U 
F R2 B2 R' F // 9 2c4
(B2 L' U2 R D2 R' F2 R' B F D2 B F) // 20 to slice, +2
but I miscounted it as 21 during the attempt, so it is lucky that this was 20 and not 21 optimal because I probably would have submitted the 22 otherwise lol

well that is one way to solve the cube
(L) B U D' L // EO
U' B' D' R2 U F' // 11 2c4 with huge blocks, inserted move
(F2 U) // I thought this reduced to 2c3
U2 L2 // OBL
D' B D' F D2 B' D F' // solved ?????
im actually just trolling this attempt

The only other DR set I looked at was U L' F2 D' R -> 7c8e, 23 was the best off of those
L B (F' D' F) gave 21 but the path is kind of skull when there is 13 to HTR
