L U2 R' // EO
F D F R2 B' // 8 2c4
U' (B2 D' B2 U R2 F2 U') // HTR (16)
(L2 B2 U2 F2) // slice (20)
+0
variation hell sucked

this scramble was quite funny:

L U2 R U' D' B' U D' F U2 F' // 11 2c3 2e
L U2 R U' R2 B D2 B U' B2 D // 11 4a1 6e
R B2 L U' B L2 B2 U // 8 4b5 (this has 17 to HTR somehow)
R' F' D' B2 L' F' R2 B L // 9 4c3 and a bunch of other not good DRs on this same EO

based on my mallard checks it seems I didn't throw so yay

this is the most standard double slice thing ever lol, I swear it's never this easy

(U' F R2 D) // EO/JZP
B2 D2 F' U2 B // 9 2c4
(R F2 R' F2 L B2 L) // HTR
(B2 L2) // double slice (18)

B2 D2 [F' U2 B L2 B2] {L' B2 L'} F2 R F2 R' D' R2 F' U
[] = B' R2 B' F2 D2 B F (+2)
{} = L2 R D2 R' (+1)

Anyone do the weird ass EO extension for 15 to slice 19 :P?
B U' F B2 R'          //eo-lr      (5/5)
(D' L2 D' B2 U' F')   //dr-ud-eolr (6/11)
(R2 U2 R2 U) // 15 to slice ???

I hate these type of scrambles so much

(L D' R' D') // EO
B2 R2 B L B // 9 2c3 2e
(L) U2 D2 R' U2 B2 R' // HTR (16)
 U2 B2 R' L' F2 R' L // 7-2

I also had this very funny 22:
L' B' L2 B // EO
R L2 U' R2 U' R D R' // 12 2c3 but hella block
(U R2 D' L2 D) // HTR
but wait lets back track
(U R2 D L2 D2 L2 D) // insert the 2e2e
(R L' F2 R' L') // 5-2 for 22

There is also:
(L' D' R' D) R B2 R B L B // 10 4a1
I didn't spend much time on it but it looked bad

I forgot about:
(D' R' D F' L F' L' F) which gives 19
I also didn't have (D' R' D) L2 D2 R2 F L F which also gives 19

(B) R2 U' B // EO
(D2 L' U2 R L' U2 L D) // 12 4b2
R2 U2 L' D2 L // HTR
U2 B2 R2 D2 R2 D2 // 6-1

This is such a dumb solution for the DRs I had on this scramble:

(B') R2 U' B (R B2 U2 D2 R D) // 10 2c3 that I didn't see until the end of the attempt because im dumb lmao
(B R2 U' B' D' R L U' L // 9 4a2 2e
(L) B2 R' B' U' R2 B2 U D2 B // 10 2c4
For some reason I just stopped writing EOs on white front after writing (L F2 U' R2 D) and variants so I didn't have (D L' D U) oops

I thought this was a 23 until I was submitting it :(
Also missed optimal by 2 moves :(((

(F) R B L F // EO
(U B2 R2 D' L) // 10 2c3 2e
F2 R2 F2 D' F2 U F2 R2 U' // HTR (18)
B2 L2 B2 U2 F2 // slice (23)
+1

optimal is off of a similar path but maybe a bit tricky: F2 R2 F2 U' B2 L2 U' L2 B2 D' F2 L2 U2 D2 L2 // solved, can reduce slice to +1 for 22

why is this scramble so short lol

i somehow found a separate 19, 20 and 21 on this scramble, I think that's definitely the best I've ever done on one scramble 

(D' B' D' F' L) // EO
B L2 B D R2 D // DR 11 4b2 2e
B (F') // HTR
(R2 U2 B2 D2 B2 L2 F2) // finish
-1 slice because F2 B. There is 18 to slice as well but no +0

20:
L (R' F B2 R) // EO
(B' L2 B2 U) // 9 4a1 6e
B' U2 B U2 D2 F // HTR
U2 R2 D2 R2 F2 // finish

21 (honestly this is probably the coolest of the 3 solutions)

F D' L // EO
F B (D F2 U2 F2 U' F) // 11 2c3 but this is the fun case we can extend the DR:

F D' L F B (D U2 F U2 F U F) // 12 2c3
(U L2 U' R2 F2 U') // HTR
// leave FB slice lol
then +3 for 21
This one was pretty much the first thing I found on the attempt so I was quite relaxed for the rest of it. 

F2 U' R2 F // EO
R2 D2 L' B2 D' // 9 2c4
U2 B2 L' U2 R D2 L' U2 L // HTR
F2 R2 B2 // leave slice
+0

didn't find the EO for 20 oops
I also just spent way too long on normal EOs I didn't check any on inverse lol

other DRs:
U' F R2 D' F (L' D2 R' F2 U) // 10 4c3
U' F2 U R2 F R U2 L B2 R' U // 11 2c3
F2 R U' F R (L R2 D' F2 R' U R) // 12 4a1 6e

(R' F' D' L' U') // EO
B' F2 U2 L B' // 10 2c4, found with premove abuse
(B2 R F2 R' U2 R D2 L) // HTR, but lets backtrack a bit
(B2 R F2 R' D2 L2 U2 L' F2 L2) // direct finish nice

Only had one other DR worth checking and it's lol:

(R' F' D' L' U B R') B2 L' U2 L // 11 4c3 and its 24 optimal with 5qt

R2 L' D' B // EO
(D' R2 D2 B2 D2 L U' L) // 12 to DR, 13 to HTR
L2 F2 R2 U D' R2 F2 D // finish

I was looking at the 12 to HTR from the same EO for a good bit, but was getting frustrated that the finish was bad. I thought I would give the other side a chance to see if there was something similar (is this actually a thing? surely these are related?) and found this. 

edit: lol im dumb and didn't do the blocky fish version of the DR that saves 1 move for 19, rip

what a hellish scramble
B' D' L' U' B // EO
L (L' U B2 L2 D2 L) // 12 2c3, at least i used a cool 4e4c trigger
U F2 B2 L2 U' R2 U // HTR
switch DR line to:
(L' U' D2 F2 R2 D2 R) 
(F2 B2 D2) // 2e+ slice, but you can see from here that extending the HTR line will leave slice

B' D' L' U' B L [U F2 B2 L2 U' R2 U D2] F2 B2 R' D2 R2 F2 D2 U L 
[] = D R2 L2 F2 D R2 D2 R2 U // solved in 24

there is also 22 to double slice but E slice is +3 xd

why do i even bother
F' L U R // EO
U2 B' U' // 7 4b2 because yeah
(L2 U2 F R2 D2 B') // DR
(U2 F2 R2 L2 D2 L2 B2) // 20 to slice
+0

The DR finish was actually hard to find for me, I had multiple 19 and 20 to slice that gave 21 before finding this one. 
This gives 20.00 pb mean of 3 lol ok

Finally a sub 20 lol

U (D' F B2 U) // EO
(R L2 F U2 L) // 10 4b2
(D2 F R2 U2 F y2) // 15 to 4x

y2 U F' U2 R2 F' D2 L' U2 F' [R' L2 U' B2] F' D
[] = R U D' F2 B2 D' F2 y2 // solved in +2
apparently the RZP has a 17 LMAO

Also had this pretty early:
U2 F' L2 B // EO
U D R D' R2 D // 10 4b2
(R' U2 L F2 L U2 L) // HTR
(D2 F2 B2 R2) // leave slice (21)
+0 for 21


other DRs:
(L R2 D' F2 R) F B D2 B' U or L2 F2 L2 F U //10 2c4 
(L' B2 U R') (F U' B D2 R2 U' F) // 11 4c3 with cool DR trigger

F' R U2 R B // EO
(D' L F2 L') // 9 2c4 with variations
(U' F2 U' F2 R2 U' B2 L2 U')// HTR
(B2 L2 U2 L2) // leave slice 22
+0

I had so many DRs to check but I tunneled on this one for some reason
Apparently there is a 19 off of U B' (D' B') (L) but it's a DR I would never check in this attempt

Other DRs:
B U' B2 U (B L2 F L F) // 9 4a2 with variations, but it's 2e and sucks :(
F' R2 U2 R B R U' F2 L D L // 11 2c3 with cool 4e4c trigger
a bunch of other 11 2c3
F D L U D R2 F2 R2 B' U // 10 4b2 0e (23 optimal using fun slice insertion stuff)
D2 F D L' (D2 B2 D R2 L2 B) // 10 2c4

(B' R') U' L // EO
U' {F' U2 F B D2 F} D // 12 2c3
[B U2 R2 B R2 B] // solve the HTR for fun
L2 U2 // slice in 20 lol
+2, but do this slice instead:
[] = F R2 D2 F L2 B z2 // 4x in 20
{} = F L2 F' B' R2 F' z2 // +0 slice

B' L' U' D' F // EO
U2 F2 L2 U2 R // 10 2c4
(F2 U' R2 D B2 L2 U R2 U) // HTR 19
(R2 B2 R2 B2 U2) // 24 to M slice
+1

Optimal for these variations is 24 only, and you have to go through 4c3 on the variation heavy side to find it so whatever

every sub 12 DR I had this attempt was 4 or 5 qt, and I found no DRs with less than 3. I could not catch a break. I had some 12 2c3 from DR extensions but they all sucked

(U' F' R B' U) // EO
F2 U2 B R B R' // 11 2c3
B (B R2 B) // HTR (15)
(U2 R2 F2 L2 U2) // 22 to slice
+2 of course

(R L' B U' D) // EO
F B2 U2 R F // 10 2c3 (switched because of 3c6e)
(R2 D2 R D2 R' B2 D2 R) // HTR 18
(B2 D2 B2 R2) // finish

there is a 20 off of a variaion but it requires 5qt so it's pretty difficult to find:

(R L' B' D U') 
F B2 U2 R F
(R) R' U2 R B2 R' B2 R
U2 D2

I spent a lot of time on this DR even after finding the 22 but a lot of that was wasted, I think I could have found this if I wasn't just being stupid but I just forgot to check 5qt in general so idk lol. 5qt on a 10 move finish is crazy though

Anyway this is 20 20 22 = 20.67 pb mean at least :shrug:

(L2 U' D R) // EO
(B' F2 D R2 D') // 9 4b2 6e
(B2 U2 F U2 B)
(U2 R2 F2 D2 F2 D2) // nice

wow, what a scramble. I was honestly disappointed with a 20 lol. Surely I get PB mean with 20 20 start though, right?...

B' D' B' // EO
D' R2 D L' D' R' // 9 2c4
D R2 D' B2 D B2 R2 B2 R2 D // HTR
L2 // lol

despite the funny solution on the obvious EO/RZP, I felt I actually solved quite well this attempt. Also had these:

U' B' D' B U2 R2 U R L // 9 4c3, but inverse side is bad and variation hell sucks
D' L D' B' R' F2 U2 L2 F' D // 10 2c3
D' L' D' B' R' F2 U2 L2 F' D // 10 2c5
L' B' D R F2 D2 L2 B2 U' D2 F // 11 4c4
(B' R B) (L' D' U2 L' U' R U L) // 11 2c4 with cool trigger
(B' R B) (L' U' B2 U' F2 D' L) // 10 0c4
(L R) R2 D2 R F D' R2 D' R2 F // 11 and bad

F (B2 U' F) // EO
(B2 L' R2 D R2 D2 R') // 11 2c4
U (U L2 U' F2 R2 D') // HTR
(B2 R2 U2 B2 R2) // 23 to slice
+1

This felt like it wasn't the best I could do off of the DR. I also thought it was 22 to slice until I counted it again after the attempt was over

 Only other DR I had was:
F (U' F) (U' L) D' L2 B2 D L // 10+4c4

U (U2 B U) // EO
(R' F') // JZP
L2 B2 U2 F' // 10 4b2 4e
(R2 F2 U2 L F2 U2 L') // HTR
(D2 L2 U2) // 20 to double slice

U L2 [B2 U2 F'] U2 {L2 D2 L U2 F2 L' U2 F2 R2} F R U' B' U2
[] = F' B' L2 B' (+1)
{} = R2 U2 L D2 B2 R' B2 U2 R L (+1)

Other DRs:
F B R L B // EO
R U' R' F2 L // fun 10+5 that immediately gives 26 to slice

F B R L B U (B2 R' D' R' D) // 11 4b2 4e
U (R' F' U) (B' U2 F2 U2 R D2 L) // 11 2c3 4e

(L' U' F R B) // EO
L' D2 F2 R' D' // 10 4a1
F2 L (U2 F2 R F2 B2 L') // HTR
(U2 D2 R2 F2)// 22 slice
+0

Also had this funny DR:
(D R2 U F D') // EO
(F L) // JZP
R L // DR lol

(F D R' D2 B) // EO
R2 U2 R B2 L' U // DR 11 2c3
R' U2 L F2 L // HTR
R2 U2 D2 B2 R2 B2 // finish

I hated this scramble, and right before this attempt was talking about 5 move extensions. I had a 24 off of 11 to 4c3 and didn't really know what else to check so I checked some extensions of the EO and sure enough this appeared lol. Nice to end off the mean well at least

F D B L U' // EO
B D2 B2 R2 B R' // DR 11 2c3 4e
D2 F R2 F' (U2 R2 L2 B) // HTR
U2 L2 U2 D2 F2 B2 // finish

F' L D R // EO
(U D) F' B2 D F' D // DR 11 4a1
F2 R2 D2 R2 D2 B' // HTR
D2 R2 D2 F B D2 F B // finish
change the finish to: D2 R2 U2 F B D2 F B U2 D2
+1 slice

There is also 21 to slice but it's +3 of course
