Somehow all my 10 move DRs are either 5q or 4b4. I am quite curious whether I missed any good 10 movers from any RZP in 4.

(R' U2 B' D2 B2 F' R)//11+2C3
F2 B' U2 R2 F L2 F //HTR

Backup 24 to slice and +1 to solve. Missed opt by 1.
I had:

I was very glad to find this HTR with an extra B2 that gives 22, until I realized that simply doing the HTR without the extra move gives 5 move finish to a 21 orz.
Biggest plot twist ever.
Edited: even funnier that I am not the only one missing the 21 from HTR.
