My first real attempt at home in like 2 years. Just for fun.
Limitation: I had to at least start with blocks. DR is here only as a "shortcut". In fact, solution could be find without DR (EO, however, is crucial). It's like classic blockino solve.
I didn't care much about time at first (what happens if I DNF?), but scramble was pleasant so I quickly new that D was something I need. I also searched through a couple of continuations but this one was the best and I eventually just looked for different approaches.
This EO was a natural choice for me: moves (D2 R2) "hide" 2 squares inside a 223 block (so I had room for connecting everything). EO here is lucky.
Well, the entire solution is very lucky. Because how would you explain so lucky DR finish?
The fact that I got something like that during my first attempt after so long break (and maybe the last? who knows...) is crazy. I think I'd be proud of finding that when being in my peak shape. Maybe lack of pressure makes a difference.
