I can never resist the temptation to NISS every rzp I labeled......

(D' R U' D')
B L' //JZP
(R F2 L') //9+2b4, 4e !!!!
B (U2 B2 U2 L2 U2 B)
(R2 D2 L2 F2 R2) // 21 to slice

The best i can get is +2 but I DNFed by 1 sec.
21 opt

also had:
L2 F2 U (U)
(F D2 B R F2 L) //10+2 variation hell, 21 opt 

and some 10+4c3

D' L F L 
D2 F U' R2 U' F //Cool DR, 10+2c3
L2 Dw' R2 Dw' F2 D
B2 Uw2 F2 B2 L2 B2 L2 //23

opt after dr

I missed a 21 opt tho:
(FL')R
(B)U2L2DB2DB //10+4B2, 21 opt 

I found no sub 10 DR smh.

(F R F R)
(B' D2 B' D2 F U')
L2 F' D2 F R2 L2 B F2
R2 F2 U2 L2 U2 L2 

(B F L U' R)
(B)U B2 D' F U F' //12+1

(B2 L' U' L2 U B2 U) //10+2c3
(B2 R' F2 L U2 R') //htr
(U2 B2 F2 R2 F2 D2) //22

opt somehow.

I only have 1 DR with sub22 opt:
U D2 F //EO
(B2 L' U') //JZP
L2 U' R2 U'//10+2C3, 21opt

Also i found no other 10 movers

I should've save time for DR fin rather than checking too many rzps in 5

D2 F' R' F
R2 U L' D' B2 D //10+2c3
R D2 R' Rw2 U2 F2 R' Rw2
B2 U2 B2 U2 L2 //21 to slice +2 to solve orz

How did i missed the +1 slice orz

Only DR that's sub 22 opt:
(RU2B2U'L') 
R2 U2 R U2 L //10+4C3 +variations

bad pacing here, but 24 is not too bad since it's lower than the sum of bad edges.

(D F' L' U R)
(D2 B L2 D2 B' D)//11+2c3,2e
(B' R2 F R2 U2 F')
(D2 B2 L2 D2 B2 U2) //23 to slice +1
 opt is 23

Also had:
(D R' F L' B')
(R L2 U2 R D R) //11+2c4, 0e
bad for DR but maybe good with insertion?

(UL2D'F)
D L2 U2 R' F L B //11+2C3
23 opt with double slice which I should've found.

TOUGH!

10+4a1 2e

Later

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.

(U2 B U R F) //eo
D2 R' U' R //DR, 9+2c4, 2e
F2 D B2 Uw' R2 Uw L2 B2 U //spam HTR
R2 F2 U2 F2 D2 //23

opt after DR lol

My only other DR:
(U'R'F'U'B DL2D2L2D'R) //11+1a4,4e, also 23 opt

Maybe I should've spam more EOs

Nice but it can be sliced to 20 if I had 10 seconds left ...... orz. 

D' B (R2 B)
U' L F2 D' F2 D //10+2C3
B2 R' F2 L' D2 B2 R' 
D2 R2 L2 F2 //fin in 21

I spent most of my time on those 8+2c4

U' R' D' L U' //eo
F' //rzp with blocks on inverse
(L U2 R' F') //10+2C3
(L D2 F2 L U2 R')
(U2 B2 D2 B2 D2) //21 to slice

+2 finish orz

Luck to get saved by random rzp in 6. Let's see how many ppl find the 22 opt.

My only other non-trash DR:
(F2 B L F B)
D2 U2 F2 L' D' R' U //12+4B2 variation hell

I missed obvious 22 opt because I can't spot 6 move finish orz.....

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

Bad time management again but DR found at 45 mins saves the attempt.

F B D' L'
(U2 F D2 F) //DR, 8+2c3!
(B2 U R2 Uw' L2 Uw') //htr
(B2 F2 R2 B2 R2 Uw2) //fin in 20

DR opt !!!

My only sub 10 DR is 9+3c0e. All my 10 movers are bad smh.

Impressive that I am able to write 24 moves in less than 30 seconds.

(D') U LD
(F L' B2 F R' B') //10+2c3
U2 R' U2 R U2 B2 L 
U2 R2 D2 R2 F2 //22 to slice

solved the slice in +2 in panic

I missed perfectly findable 22 due to bad time management.


Alternative DR:
(D)ULD
(LB')//JZP
(R' F2 B2 R F2 R) /12 + 1Q4c2e with many variations, 22opt

FMC is so hard...

(B R U F D)
(L) //rzp
F' L2 D2 F L  //11+4c3
(B') B2 R2 B' R2 D2 F
U2 D2 R2 B2 L2 R2 D2 //25

Actually 23 opt is findable.

My only other nontrivial DR:
F' L U' B D
R2 F/F' //RZP in 7
L' U2 D2 L' F / R' B2 F2 R' B //12+2c3,4e. 24OPT

Maybe I should've found all 31 EOs instead of 14.

When 22 feels like a complete failure lol

R2 F (F)
R2 B2 U' F2 U L //9+2C3, 4e
Uw' F2 L2 U L2 Uw' 
L2 U2 B2 L2 F2 L2 Dw2 //22

Opt finish is 20 with 5qt lol. Should've found the 21 with 3q if I managed my time well.

Somehow my DRs are not that great.

(F'U'R2F')
(RUF2UD2L') //10+1

F2L2D2F'
L2UB2U'L //9+2C3,4E

and a bunch of worse DRs

I managed my time badly so didn't check many 4 movers, so i missed:

B D2 L' U         //eo          (4/4)
F2 R F2 L B'      //dr [0c0 4e] (5/9)
L R F2 R D2 U2 R  //htr         (7/16)
U2 F2             //finish      (2/18)

11 move finish feels good~

F' U' (U D')
(L)
F U2 B' R2 F' L //11+2c3
(R2 F U2 F' B2 L2 D2 F')
(L2 D2 U2) //21 to slice +1 = 22

opt after DR is actually 21 lol

also had 
(B' R' F B)
followed by 30+ ways to get to 12+2c3 6e 

The nice thing about short DR is that sub-optimal finish can still give me satisfying result.

F R' (B2 L)
(B2 R2 U B2 D) // 9+4a2 with 8 variations
F' (Bw2 U2 L2 F') //htr in 14
(U2 R2 D2 R2 D2 B2 D2 z2) //finish in 21

Opt is 20 but i am fine.


My  backup DR:
U' R U2 L
(F2 D' R2 B2 D U2 B) //11+2C3

(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

(U)F' R' U'
R(R2 F2 D2 B D2 R) //11+2c3
U2 F L2 F2 R2 B' D2 B' F2 R2 D2 //22 found with 2e insertion

opt after DR


F(B'RB) looks promising but I can't find anything good from that.

Short DRs are always cursed......

R2 U' (U2 L2 B' L F) //7+2C4, only 21opt somehow
B2 R U2 B2 Lw' B2 L2 F2 L
B2 D2 F2 D2 Lw L' F2 R  //22 to slice and panic finish

Also had 
R2 U (U2 F' L B) // 6+4B4 lol, of couse I should've found the 6qt finish for 19.

and all the 8 movers are 4b4 


In fact the scramble itself looks very sus already:

Just take the inverse scramble
F' U [R U2 L2 U2 L2 U2 L' F2 R' F2 R D2] U' B L' R F' R' U F' U R
[]--> D2 L2 D2 R U2 L D2 //solve in 19

So if I were to cheat, I would've get 19 instead of 24 lol.

21 is not bad although not being DR opt.

F' U' R2 F
R' U2 L U' D' //9+2c3, 6e
(L) F2 U2 R D2 F2 R 
L2 F2 U2 F2 B2 //20 to slice and 21 to solve

Spend 30 mins in this DR variation, opt is 20 or but 19 is possible from a DR extension.

My other DRs aren't as good

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

Mess up my time management
I don't know why I always DNF when I could have easily safety a 24 or even 23.

I had:
R D(D F' B RD2FL'B)//10+4C3, 23 opt

(FD)R'D
R2F'B'L'B'R //10+2C3, it has 10 move finish for 20 lol

(FD)R'D
R2FBR'B'L //10+2C3, 21 opt

RD(D'LB)
R'F2LF //9+2C4, 22OPT

R' D (F D F2 U2 F' L F R') //10+4B2, 23 opt
R' D (F D' F2 U2 F R F L) //10+4B2, 22 opt

(R' U' L F' R)
(U2 R2 B U) //9+2c3
U2 L2 B' L2 F R2 F' U2 F B U D' F2 D U //double slice in 20 and +2 to solve

22 is opt after DR

beside this eo, I also had

R' D F R' L
F L2 F' U //9+4B4
at last minute I found 21 to slice from this DR but fortunately/unfortunately 22 is opt.

Found nothing remotely good other than

F2LF'
RD
L2F2U2R'L2D //11+2

it has 23 opt but I didn't found that.

(U' L D')
(F L')//RZP
(R' B R) // DR in 8 but 4B4

However, when I switch
(U' L D')
(F L)//RZP
L F' # L // 8+4B2 seriously!?
([F' D2 L2 F2 U2 F]) // htr in 14
(U2 D2 R2) // 2E2E+slice in 17

[]--> B' L2 U2 F B U2 F //2e2e in 18

# = F2 R2 B2 L2 B2 R2 //18+6-3 = 21

Somehow 21 is optimal

Other
(L D L' U')
(F'R'B2RB)//9+4B2, 21opt also

When a cool DR is not completely doomed but I stopped too early......

(L2 D2 F)
U R //build DR blocks
F2 U' D' L //9+4B2 with 4 variations
B2 U2 F2 D F2 D'
F2 B2 U2 //crazy finish

Stop the attempt at 45 min without spotting the rewrite:
D' F2 B2 U2 F' D2 -> D F' U2 F2 B2 //18-1 = 17 = unique opt for the scramble


Also had:
(U2 R2 B)
(L)
D L2 U R //8+5

(U2 R2 B)
(L)
R2 D L2 U R //9+3Q4C

(U')R' B U'
F L' U2 F R //cool trigger!!! 9+4a2
(L2 U2 B' L2 B2 U2 F')
(L2 F2 L2 D2 L2 U2) //22

opt after this DR

I also had:
B(U F' B)
(U2 R' D2 F2 R) //9+2C4 variation hell, opt is 21?

not sure what's the best findable solution off this eo group

(F' L U F')
L2 R2 D L' D B2 D //11+4b2, 2e
(L2 B2 R) F2 L2 U2 R 
F2 D2 F2 B2 D2  //23

I missed the 22 opt due to not spotting 21 to leave wrong slice orz.

Of course I got severely punished by not prioritizing the 10+4c3 with tons of variations and miss "easy 20".

Forced to use 23 backup since the 21 to slice doesn't solve in +1 with 4qt be like......

(U2 B' R B)
U' D' R2 L' D' R' //10+2C3
L2 D R2 B2 D L2 U2 L2 D' //htr extension
B' F U2 D2 F' B //25-2 = 23

opt from its variation is 21 whoooops

While i had:
B' U B'
U B2 U2 L' U' R' //9+4
(U' L2 U B2 U' L2 F2 D' U2)
(L R' U2 R L') //21 to eslice
+2 slice with 4q moment

opt is 22 here

Terrible scramble with only 44 sub6 EOs.

(U' B F' L F')
(D' U R' D' L') //10+2c3
([U' R2 D]) F B' U2 F' B D //cool htr 
R2 F2 R2 D2 F2 //slice in 24

[] --> D' F2 D2 U' //+1 = 25

opt after DR is 23 but not easy to find.

Except for all the variation and extension of this 10+2c3, the only other dr i had is:
(B)LFUF 
(R2 L2 U' L2 U R L)// 12+2a4 with many variations

(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

My solves this week can be 2, 2 and 1 move better if i simply rewrite my DRfin lol.

(R' F')
(U')D' //rzp
(R F2 R2 D' R' D)//10+4b2
B2 F2 D2 R' D2 L'//htr
U2 F2 L2 B2 R2 D2 R2 L2 //22 to slice and solve slice in +2 in panic

From DRs that I didn't check thoroughly:
(B2 R' F)
(D) U2 R B2 R2 U //9+3Q4C, 20opt lol (let's see how many ppl miss it)

(R' F)
D' R D R' U2 R //8+5, 22opt

(R'F)
D2U2RU'R'DR //9+4C3, 22opt

My other 9 and 10 movers give no sub23

My absolute inability to manage my time recently lol.

I found the 7 mover at 10 min and decided to go all in at 20 min. Somehow I refuse the solve my 22 to slice until the last 5 minutes and I messed up.

(R U' F D)
(B' R' F) // !!!!
R' U2 R (R F2 L2 U2 L) 
(D2 B2 F2 R2 B2 D2 U2) // 22 to slice

I also missed somewhat easy 21 with double slice, same as a1.

I need to learn the double slice trick which is inserting E2 in the DR slice to make the other slice better and then rewrite to remove the E2.

I think I just discovered my biggest knowledge gap.

25...... I really tried hard to not DNF.

U' (L' D L' U) // EO extension
(R B2 R2 F L') //cool DR, 10 + 2c4 with 2 variations
F' L2 F L2 B' L2 D2 F //HTR
(F2 D2 L R F2 R L') //finish

At 59 minute 30 sec I found that it can be rewrite to 24, but I ran out of time:
...F L R' F2 R' L' D2 F2 L... --> B2 F' D2 L' R' F2 U2 R // 25-1=24

and then due to the B2 F' i can further rewrite it to 23 to get opt wth!?!?!?!??!

I feel so dumb.......

I had:
(B R')R'
(B')B' U D F2 D F //Fancy DR to 10+4c3, 22 opt

(BR')R
UB'
(UB2L2D'B) //10+2c4, 23 opt

(BR')R
L2F U'L2F2BU'F //11+2, 23 opt is easy if i NISS it

and other mid 11 movers
