random safety when I have nothing in 57 minutes.

poor time management and missed 20 from this 9+1

common result?

23.33 but I missed opt after DR by 3 moves for ALL 3 solves this week.

(F2 U2 D' B2 D2 R2 D2 U' L2 D2 L2)// 20 to slice +2 orz

I missed easy 20 and 21 from this dr due to poor time management.

I also had the DR for 19 lol.

nice find on DR but meh result.

How bad can a scramble be when it's 6,2,4

Missed optimal by 2 lol
no other good DR

Bad
I had nothing other than two 10+2c3 4e and a variation heavy 10+2c3 6e.

same 20 as others

The most satisfying solve in a while!!!

I also had a 21 backup from the 8+2 and also a 8+4c4 that i didn't check. My best 9 movers are 2c4 with many variations.

(B2 R' B U)
L2 D2 L2 B2 L' B' //10+4b2
D2 R' B2 L 
D2 R2 B2 L2 F2 U2 L2 //21

there was a 20 to slice but no +1 so i go for the 21 to slice.

Then I found the 8+2 in 45min and didn't find anything lol.

DNF by 1 prime. Risky time management as always

R2 D'(F2 U)
(D2 L B' R2 B')//9+2c3
Rw2 R B2 R2 U2 B2 U2 B2 D2 L U2 L' Lw2 U2 R2 //22 to slice +2

missed 20 opt

had the other 9+4c3:
B' L B

3/3 unsatisfying solves this week but I am recovering !!!

(F D F U2 B') 
(U' R2 L U R) // 10+2c3
(U') B2 R2 U' B2 U'
R L' F2 B2 R L //22

Opt is 21 which i found but thought it was a 22 due to time panicking

Also had:

R2 D F U D

(B')B' R2 D2 F' U2 F'

bad time management. Start finish DR at 45 min and miss obvious 22

also had 10+4a2 2e and 10+4c4

R' F R2 U 
(R' B2 L' F' L2 F) //10+2c3 2e 
R' B2 R B2 R'
U2 D2 B2 U2 D2 R2 //21 to slice

and I mis-scrambled at last minute and force to take +3 to solve orz.
I also missed 20 from this htr ....

also have:

(D2 F2 L' R2 F') //9+2C4 and extensions

R F U' 
B F' R 
D2 L2  B' R2 F' //11+4B2

Basically the first ever DR finish with blocks in my life !!!

(D2 U2 F' L')
L2 D R2 B2 D R //10 + 2c4
(D R2 U L2 B2) // setup to trigger but fake htr....but WAIT!
(R2 D2 B2 U' B2 U B2) // Block-building finish !!!!!

22, opt after all my DR.


only have another 10+2c4 and 10+2c3.

(L F2 R)
(D' B') L2 U' B' //8+2
U' (Dw2 R2 B2 L2 B2 D')
Uw2 B2 D2 R2 B2 R2 F2  //21 to slice and 22 to fin

opt after DR?

My only other promising DR:

(R' U2 L D2 L2 D)//11+4B2,2e with many variations

(F) D' U2 B

R2 U R2 L2 D2 R2 L2 U R2 L2 U2 D2 U D' F2 U' D F B' D2 B F' L U2 L D2 R F2 D2 F // panic finish for 40

Conceivably rusty after not doing any fmc for 15 days.

Glad that i didn't DNF.

Skill issue that i didn't spot the -2 shortening U2 D2 U D' --> U' D 

R2 D' L2 D (B' D2 R F') //8+4c3

10+4a1 2e

R' L (F R')//eo
(F) //rzp
U B2 D B //9+2c3
(D' L2 B2 D R2 D) HTR
U2 R2 F B U2 F' B' //finish

opt is 21 orz.

had another 9+4c3, and 10 +4a1,2e

I don't like 7+5 so I get 19 to slice from 10+2 but can't any +2.

(B' D B U)
(F')U2 R' F' R F //10+2
(U R U2 R U2)
(F B U2 F' B') //19 to M slice

opt is 20 but by doing another double slice

I feel like I don't fully understand double slice now.

R' B2 L' (L)
(F' U2 F2 R2 F D') //10+4c3
F2 R2 F' R2 F (Fw2 F)
D2 Fw2 R2 D2 R2 D2 // 22 to slice +1 = 23

I found the 22 to slice at 57 minutes and then DNFed

DR opt is 22

Also had:
(F'RL'D)
(LF)
(L'B2R'F2R)//11+4B2

(L)R'B2L'
BL2U2R2UB // 10+2C3,22 OPT

D' L2 U' B 
R2 D B2 D' L2 U2 L' //extended DR, 11+2
F2 D R2 U' D R2 U' 
R2 B2 R2 L2 //21 to slice and 22 to solve

Opt from this DR group is 21 but hard to find.

I went safe and decide to finish my DR instead of keep NISSing rzp in 5 and then i missed the 9 movers lol

(LD)D
F' L2 D2 L B2 L //extend 8+2 to 9+2
(F2 U2 B D2 R2 L2 B) // 16
(D2 L2 U2 D2) //double slice in 20

I found this at 55 minutes and i panic a 24 but it's actually sliceble to 21.

(U B' L2 R' D) //eo
(L' R' B R' B) dr
R' F2 B2 U2 R' L2 
D2 F2 D2 F2 //20

somehow it took me forever to find this 20, and of course I found this 20 at ~ 62 minutes.

(D)B D 
L' F2 R' D2 L' R2 B' //10+2C3
U2 Rw F2 Rw' B2 R //HTR
U2 D2 B2 R2 U2 //21

Found (L B U2 L') jzp but I missed some simple 21

(U' L D F')
R2 D2 B2 D' //8+2c4 with "8 variations" !!!!!
L U2 R B2 L' B2 L' 
U' D L2 U' D'  // 20 

This is my only sub 10 DR so I went all in. Unsurprisingly I missed a 19 from one of the variations.

Also found another 20:
(U' L D F)
R2 U2 F2 D'
R' U2 L' B2 L U2 L'
D2 R2 D2 R2 B2

R2 L U L' F2 L' D (F2 R2 U2 B') //11+2b4 variation hell
L' U2 R D2 R B2 R 
D2 B2 D2 B2 R2 B2 R2

Suddenly got interested in variation hell but it doesn't work:
Opt from R2 L U L' F2 L' is 22 but it can only be found by extending the DR.

I should've go for the 9+2c4 early

Such a terrible scramble for my mental health

(L2 U F2 D)
L R' U2 F' R' B //10 +4C3 variation hell. Hope 1 of the 8 variation is good
L' B2 U2 R2 U2 R U2 R'
B2 U2 D2 // 20 to double slice

Then I spent 10 minutes doing the slice rewrite cus I keep miscrambling.

L R' U2 F' R' B R' U2 F2 L2 B2 L U2 R' B2 U' L2 U' B2 U' D

F2 D F B' U 
R' B' R' F R // 10+4b2 cool DR
D2 B2 U2 L2 F' U2 F' 
U2 F2 U2 R' L B2 L R //25-2 = 23

opt after cool DR is nice

22 is possible but meh
D'F'U2L'
F 
D2F2U F' U2 D2 R2 B// extent 11+4b2 to 13 move
R2 D' R2 B2 D R2 L2 F2 U2 //22

Evidence that 11 move DRs are still important

I worked on these 10+2c4 FOR 20 minutes
(B R' F D B)
D2 R2 B R B and variations 
23 opt but you need to dig through the variations

I had no other sub 11 DR other than a 10+4b4 which is also 23 opt.

(B2 D F2 L)
( F' U2 B D U)// 9+4a2 with a million variation
F2 L2 F2 D2 B L2 D2 B2 D2 B' L2 R2 // finish in 21

can't believe that it only miss opt (20) by 1

(D' R' B F)
(D) 
B2 D2 L2 D' R' D //DR extension, 11+4a2
L2 F2 R D2 L' R' D2 L U2 D2 B2 // 21 to slice !!! no +0 sadly

However the opt is +10 from this DR lol.

Had like 10 different mid DRs like this lol crazy scramble.

(D' B' L R F') //eo with htr equivalent variation
R' L2 F2 R' F2 D// DR, 11+2c3
R (R2 B2 U2 R' D2 L)
(B2 R2 B2 R2 D2) // 23

This can be shorten to 22 to slice with blocky fish insertion but no +0.
opt is 22 from DR.

I had no other DR than two 10+5
