DR optimal was 24 and very findable, I tried NISS 5qt, but I missed it. This was the first attempt in many that I did not find any DRs under 11 moves. Sad. And I had a total of 5 mediocre 11-move DRs. And optimal across all of them was 24. I think the 21 from R (R F R) is the easiest good solution that I just straight up missed. For some reason I didn't notice it was 7c8e after doing (U), I got distracted by 6c8e on UD. Gonna lose match-up and Elo. Congrats to the real pros who found a good solution on this.

Tons of good things to check. I am still pretty happy with 21, because I began finishing DR with only 10 minutes left. Surprisingly, Mallard doesn't seem to give any easy sub-21s on this scramble. I think that someone may get sub-21, but the vast majority of top solvers will get 21 on this. Other DRs: (U R' D L' R2 F2 R' U2 B) // 9 to 2c5 U D2 L (D) R2 F B' U' B U // 10 (bad) (U R' D' F2 D2 R D2 L' U2 B) // 10 (bad) L2 U D2 L' D' F' D' L2 B2 D // 10 (bad) (B2 U R' D L' R2 B2 L D2 B) // 10 to 4c3 And then I also had 4 DRs in 11, 3 of them were bad and 1 was 2c3 2e.

I’m really happy with this. This will probably win my match-up and gain some Elo. I think this 21 is pretty straightforward, like it’s from a 4-move EO and stuff, so most good people will find this.

I found the final pretty quickly. Honestly considering how good this scramble is, some people probably found a 20 or 19. I’m happy with this start though, 21 21 __ for the mean.

I don’t really feel like typing out much because I’m on mobile, but basically a few mediocre 11 move DRs besides this. This was the first HTR I checked on the DR and I didn’t even have to leave slice. Nice. I’m going to assume this is the optimal finish, and other top solvers also found this 21.

I literally had no other DR's, except an 11-move 4qt DR from a misscramble. I must have missed the correct NISS 5-move EO that everyone else somehow found. Mallard finds a pretty reasonable 22 from F L2 U (D) with 3c6e RZP then NISS for 10 to 2c3. Optimal after my given DR is 24 instead of 25 but I only had 10 minutes left so that's fine.

No doubt the easiest sub-20 ever. Literally the first EO I checked. I ended the attempt after 20 minutes. D' R L' B // EO U R' B2 U B2 D // 4a1 (10) R' L' ^ U2 L' // 3e in 14 ^R U2 B2 D2 L D2 B2 U2 // 8-4 = 18 Optimal finish. Scramble optimal is 17 but unfindable. Tied PB lmao.
