(F D' B2 L' U)
L2 B L2 F' L' // 2c4 0e in 10
B' U2 F' R2 F'^ U2 B2 D2 F'^
U2 R2 U2 B2 z2 // 4x in 23, ^=w

Just too many meh drs to check properly, i'm sure there's a 22 somewhere in there:
(L D F' R' B)
(R' U' L2 F2 B2 D) // 4c3 in 11
(F2 L' D2 L D2 R2 D2 B2 L)
(U2 L2) // slice in 22 i had early, but no +0

L (B2 F L)
(B L2 D B2 L2 B) // 4b3 in 10

L' (B2 F L)
(U) B' U2 F B' U // 4b3 in 10

L (U2 D F' R)
(F2 U L2 U' B) // 2c4 in 10 with 2 vars

Edit: my dr from final has a unique 22 from switching ..L F and doing a E2 for +1 extension of square/square which i just didn't have time for/prioritize, and the only other sub23 from all my drs is doing 2 qt and switch or a qt into setup to 7move trigger on one of the other 2c4's variations for a 21, but like no

The only kind of missed 21 here is this:
D' F L' R' B                          // eofb       (5/5)
L'                                    // rzpud-eofb (1/6)
(B2 U R)                              // drud-eofb  (3/9)
(L2 D2 F2 B2 D' L2 U' B2 U F2 D2 F2)  // fin        (12/21)

At first i discarded this as not a miss, but it's blocky enough to first find this dr, and then trace 3p on 2c1e arm after rzp:
D' F L' R' B
L' D F2 D R // 4b2 2e in 10, 23 opt

(F' R' F' L)
(D) U // 2c4 in 6, lol
L2 B' U2 F' U2 F U2 R2 B'
D U' B2 U D // slice in 20-2, +0

Had to check 3 slices in 19 that were at least +1 before i finally checked L2 B' on normal and it spawned the most free 18 on the first htr variation, lol

D B2 R F U
F L2 F L' B L // 2c3 4e in 11
(U2 [B' U2 B' U2 R2 F']) // 2e2e that can be +0ed into 4x on e + slice in 18

[] = F' L2 B' U2 D2 L2 U2 D2 B2 U2 D2 B // +5, essentially slice in +1 4x in +4

Other double slice scams this attempt:

D' L2 B R' D
(B U2 R2 F' R) // 2c3 4e in 10
B2 U2 F L2 U2 F U2 F
R L F2 D2 R' L' // slice in 23

D' L2 R' B D'
(R2 F R' U2 F2 R) // 4a1 2e in 11
B' R2 U2 L2 B R2 B
U2 D2 // S+M in 20, both +2 smh

I had this dr but completely forgot it existed and it has a 22, lmao:
L' B2 L' B'
R D L2 D B2 U R // 4b2 4e in 11

None of the 21s look particularly findable if you don't gamble F/B eo extensions on normal which i'm not going to

(L) F' L2 U' R
(F' D F' D) // 4a1 2e in 9
F' (L2 D2 B' U2 B')
(U2 F2 L2 D2 F2 L2 F2) // 22-1, via U2 L2 D2 to 2e2e

1+3 extension goes brrr, tied mallard

L' U R' U' F'
L2 D U2 L' // 2c3 2e in 9
(L2 U) U2 R2 D L2 D'
B2 L2 B2 R2 // 2E+E, +2+0

Meh, the second one is the only remotely reasonable 21 from the first 5 moves, but like no:
(R' D L2 R2 F')                    // eofb       (5/5)
(L)                                // rzpud-eofb (1/6)
L' U' L'                           // drud-eofb  (3/9)
B2 D' R2 B2 D R2 D' R2 B2 U' B2 D  // fin        (12/21)
Solution (21): L' U' L' B2 D' R2 B2 D R2 D' R2 B2 U' B2 D L' F L2 R2 D' R

L' U R' U' F'                // eofb       (5/5)
                             // rzpud-eofb (0/5)
L2 D L R' F2 R'              // drud-eofb  (6/11)
L2 U' L2 D F2 U R2 F2 U2 L2  // fin        (10/21)

F (F2 U' F')
(R D' F2 D F2 L) // 4b2 2e in 10
(D2 F2 L2 F2 U F2 D)
(L2 U2 B2 R2 B2) // 22

Other:
F (F2 U' F)
(R U F2 U' F2 L) // 2c4 in 10

(U' F' R L')
(U L2 B' D L2 D') // 2c5 in 10, this is 2c3 with 20 opt if you do U' for rzp, FUCK

(F' L' U R)
(U B' F' D' B' D) // 4b5 in 10

(R F2 L U')
(F R' B R2 B' R2 B) // 2c3 4e in 11

No other sub22s look particularly reasonable other than the one from my dr variation, sigh

(B2 L) D' R L'
D' (B2 D2 R2 F U') // 2c4 in 11
(L2 B) U2 R2 B' D2 F U2 F'
L2 U2 B2 D2 B2 // slice in 24+0

Wtf was this scramble, my mallard only finds a sub24 if you check F2 R (B2 D2 R) on normal which i found but only checked on inverse

Other:
U F' R D2 B
D R U2 D' L D L' // 2c3 4e in 12 with 4 vars

U (B2 R U' D')
(R) F' D2 R2 B R // 4b5 in 11

(R2 D' F B)
(D R' L2 D2 R' D') // 4a1 2e in 10
L F2 B2 R D2 R'
B2 D U' F2 D' U // slice in 20+1

Also:
D' R2 F2 L'
B R2 U' D L2 D B
R2 D' F2 D F2 U
F2 D2 F2 L2 // slice in 21+1, early backup

(R2 D' F B)
(D) L2 U2 L D // 4b2 4e in 9, you can also do D in eo
(R F2 U2 R) // htr in 13 but trash

F' R D' L' B
(D2 F2 D' F2 R) // 2c3 4e in 10

This 10move variation i had does have a 20 but you have to do a +2 htr extension which i didn't think of:
(R2 D' F B)
(D') R2 D2 R2 L' D'
(F2 U2 R B2 U2 R')
(F2 R2 B2) // slice in 19+1

B (F R' D' F)
R B2 [L U' D // 4a1 4e in 10
L2 F2] L // HTR

[] = L' F2 R2 U' D

F2 L2 F2 L2 U2 & // 2E2E in 18

& = U2 L2 F2 D2 L2 U2 B2 R2 // +2/20

I also had a double slice in 18+3+1 from the original htr in 13, and slice in 19+2 from the variation with dr extension, glad i found the 20 which looks to be optimal from eo, nice

D R D B'
U' F2 U L2 U' // 4a1 6e in 9
(F2 R) B2 R' F2 D2 B2 L
U2 L2 // 19

How i found this instead of doing a linear htr on inverse like a normal person is basically:
...U L2 U
(F2 R L2 U2 L2 & F2) // 2e2e so let's switch

(F2 R) R D2 F2 U2 L
B2 U2 L2 U2 L2 // 21

Then notice that this is just doing & = U2 B2 L' U2 F2 D2 R' F2, so i tried doing U2 B2 on normal before htr trigger and it worked, essentially just inversing the 2e2e alg cancelling more. I think i knew this as an alg once but that was a long time ago

Fun first solve of the year

(D F' R U)
(R2 B U2 B R2 B R) // 4b2 4e in 11
U2 L2 B' U2 L2 F
L2 F2 D2 & R2 // E in 20

& = D2 F2 D2 R2 U2 B2 U2 R2 // +3

Fucking scammed by:
D (R' B' D)
R' U2 L2 F L // 2c3 6e in 9, 22 opt but all paths are cursed

Oh yeah, how could i not check a 12move dr from doomed 2c1e 3p when there was a dr in 9 on the other axis, my bad. Also skill issue for not finding dr in 10 on inverse from D (R' B' D F).

The only other reasonable 21 is:
D' (R' B' D')                 // eoud       (4/4)
(U2 B)                        // rzplr-eoud (2/6)
(U2 B2 D2 L F)                // drlr-eoud  (5/11)
(L U2 B2 D2 L D2 L2 F2 U2 L)  // fin        (10/21)

F' U' D L U
F' (D2 L B' L2 B') // 4b2 2e in 11
(L) L D2 R' U2 D2 L
U2 F2 U2 R2 F2 // slice in 23+0

Way too much work for a 23 for my liking, didn't have any sub23able drs

FUCK there was a 20 from the other variation of this dr which i missed, i'm so bad

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

Other:
(B) B2 R' U' F'
D B2 D R U2 R // 2c3 4e in 11

Kinda missed this, but rzp in 6 from that side of eo, really?
L2 B' R' L (R)                // eolr       (5/5)
F                             // rzpud-eolr (1/6)
(U' R2 B2 U2 B)               // drud-eolr  (5/11)

(R D2 B2 D')
(B)
(L' B2 R F2 R F) // 0c0 4e in 11
(R') D2 B2 U2 B2 & R
U2 D2 // 2E+M in 19

& = B2 U2 R2 B2 R2 U2 B2 R2 // 8-5 for slice in 22+0

Stupid way to find this but hey it worked

Other:
L' B D'
B'
L' U2 B R F // 2c5 in 9

There is this very reasonable 20 but i didn't think to make jzp on the other axis, oops:
D' L2 F' D                       // eoud      (4/4)
B L                              // arlr-eoud (2/6)
(L2 B2 L)                        // drfb-eoud (3/9)
(F L2 F U2 B D2 L2 R2 F2 R2 U2)  // fin       (11/20)

F' (R2 L F)
(R D2 B2 L2 D L) // 2c3 2e in 10
(B2 D F2 U' F2 U')
(F2 R2 U2) // slice in 19+0

Very pleasant simple solve to end the season

U' D' R
(D B2 U' B L2 D2 B') // 4b2 4e in 10
L2 R2 F2 D L2 F2 U'
D2 B2 L2 R2 B2 // slice in 20+2

Focused too much on this and missed that you can do (U L2 U') instead for htr in 18 and the only 21 from jzp:
U' D' R
(D B2 U' F D2 R2 B')
(U' L2 U) // 2e4e in 13

also:
R' U' D' R
(L2 U2 R2 D' R2 U) // 2c3 4e in 10, had a slice in 22 here but didn't solve it

U' D' R
(D B2 F2 U L2 D F) // 4b2 4e in 10

R (F U' L)
(D' B2 U2 L2 F U) // 4b2 4e in 10

(U' L' F2 U' R)
(B F' U' D F) // 2c4 in 10
F2 B2 L' D R' D2 L D' R
U2 F B U2 F B' // 25-2

Lmao, sub30 qtm. There is a 22 from this dr but i didn't try inserting D2, honestly i'd rather style points for this than a 1move better solve, this was so funny to find

This is the only other sub23 for the scramble from mallard, wtf:
D' R B (F' B')                    // eofb       (5/5)
                                  // rzpud-eofb (0/5)
(R2 D' B2 R' F2 L')               // drud-eofb  (6/11)
(F2 B2 R2 F2 D B2 U L2 D' L2 F2)  // fin        (11/22)

U' (D2 U' R U)
B F' R' F' L // 2c4 in 10
B D2 B' D2 R2 & [F' R2 F]
U2 L2 // 2e+S in 20

[] = B' F2 U2 F2 D2 B' // 23

Turns out you can do & = R2 D2 B2 R2 B2 D2 R2 B2 to get a different slice in 22 and it's actually +0, I completely forgot this type of solution can exist, why do i keep missing optimals by 1 from htrs i have

A lot of mid-bad drs in 10, quite annoying:
D (U F' B D)
(L/L' F R B R) // 4c3/2c3 4e in 10, both 23 opt

R' F' (U' F)
R (D' F2 L2 U2 L) // 4c4 in 10

U (U' R U)
L F2 R F' R' B // 4c4 in 10

(U R' F2 U)
(F) // dr-3c4e, knew it was the triangle shape from the number of pairs and fake pairs
B R2 U2 L2 F2 R' F // 4b2 2e in 12
(U2 D2 L' F2 L')
(F' B' D2 F' B) // slice in 21+2

Turns out i missed 2 separate 22s from this dr, ugh:
B' D2 F B L F2 L2 B2 L' D2 U2 F' (12)
F L2 B2 R2 L' F2 L D2 F' B L2 B' (12)

Missed the second one cause i tried R D2 R' but not L B2 L' and didn't see double slice, stupid

Looks like nobody liked this scramble lol. Missed the 2+2 eo with a 22 as well as rzp for this despite switching eo:
(B2 L' R2 D)                       // eoud       (4/4)
R' F'                              // rzplr-eoud (2/6)

(L' B2 D2 L' D2 L' B2 R U2 F2 R2)  // fin        (11/21)

Other:
(U R' F2 U)
(F) B (U2 D2 R2 L' F) // 4b2 4e in 11

(R) B2 L' D' R
F' R2 L2 D' B U // 0cx in 11

(R' F2 L' U)
L' (F D2 F' R2 B L) // 4b5 in 11

F2 L F R U2 R F2 R // 4b2 2e in 12 with a million variations

(L D' U2 F' U)
(L2 B R' F' R) // 4a3 in 10
B R2 B' (B2 R2 F)
(L2 B2 L2 U2 L2 U2 R2) // 23

At least it's a funny solution or something, didn't have any sub23able dr

Missed/miscounted rzp into 8c8e from 2mover, ugh

Other:
(R2 U L')
(D' L2 F2 R2 F B2 D) // 4b2 in 10 + variation

U (R' F' D)
(L2 U2 L' R2 B) // 4a1 4e in 9
(F2 L) L' F2 B2 R
B2 D2 L2 B2 L2 // slice in 19+0

Nice

Also:
(R' D' R' F')
(D' L F2 L2 U) // 2c4 in 9

(L2 R' F')
(L)
<U2> R2 D' F2 L U' R' // 4b2 2e in 11
L2 D2 R2 // do the parity fix moves, but wait a minute
D B2 U2 B2 D // finish, wtf

I had absolutely nothing and found this at 55 minutes after finally switching the 78 rzp with 4 pairs, and then trying some extensions cause i pretty much gave up on the attempt

My solution i would've submitted otherwise:
R2 B'
L
F2 R2 D L2 F2 U' R // 2c4 in 10
(D' B2 U' R2 B2 U' F2 U')
(R2 B2 U2 R2 B2 R2) // 23

(R') R F' R
U // fake jzp
(D' R2 B D' B' D) // 4b2 4e in 11
R2 U2 B L2 U2 F'
U2 F2 L2 D2 R2 // slice in 22+2, ugh

Didn't look at the other axis after switching F' B R' D B and missed jzp/rzp from L (F R L)

Bad attempt 

(D' F2 R' U' L)
(B' D2 U F D') // 4b3 in 10
(F) F2 L2 F (D2 R2 D2 R2 D2 F)
(D2 B2 D2 L2) // 24

Optimal from dr, and this was the only sub12 dr i had, sigh

I saw that (L) U' F R L was probably like an 11-12 to 2c4 but i didn't know i needed that. Also somehow didn't see the extensions to F2 D F B starting with D/D', just a brainfart cause it's late

Bad week but scrambles 2-3 were pretty crap

(L' R2 F R)
(B' U2 F2 D B2 F' U') // 2c4 in 11
R2 F' U2 F L2 F' L2 F'
D2 L2 U2 B2 // slice in 23+1

At 52 minutes i found this from my 76th eo:
U' D2 F R B'
U L' D' R' // 4c3 in 9

I scrambled to find a finish for this but couldn't in time, and turns out it's 23 optimal, for which i've found a leave slice at like 62 minutes:
(L2 U B2 U) F2 B2 D
B2 L2 U2 L2 R2 F2 R2

Basically "didn't guess the right 4->5 extension on 8bad" moment, i hate such scrambles

R2 D' F'
D (R2 D' R2 D') // 2c4 in 8
(R) F2 L U2 B2 R D2 R'
D2 F2 L2 U2 F2 R2 // slice in 21+1

Also:
L' D2 F' U
(R2 B2 L B L) // 2c3 6e in 9
(F' R2 L2 D2 B' R2 B)
(R2 D2 B2 R2 L2 U2) // slice in 21+1

If i had a nickel for every shitty dr in 9 by switching a 3mover and doing 5c6e i'd have 2 nickels:
R2 D' F
(R L2 U' F2 L D) // 4b5 in 9

L' F' U
(D2 F2 B R D2 F) // 4b3 in 9, 21 opt but 5q

Other:
(F R F D)
(F2 L2 F R F L) // 4a1 4e but bad

Definitely missed a 21 somewhere but whatever

Edit: yep, i tried extending to 2c4 in 9 but didn't try niss htrs on that

(U2 D R) // EO(3/3)
(L2 F2 L2 D' B) // DR, 4b2 2e(5/8)
F2 [U B2 D2 L2 F2 R2 U // HTR(8/16)
L2] R2 D2 B2 // LS(4-1/19)

[] = D L2 U2 B2 L2 F2 D R2 U2 D2(+2/21)

Ugh, annoying. 20.33 slices this week but only a 21.67, with a 20.67 opt from my drs

Had this braindead 21 since 14 minutes as well:
F L' F' U
F' U2 L' B2 R F'
U2 B2 R F2 R
U2 R2 F2 D2 B2 U2

L2 U (F U') // EO(4/4)
B' F2 L' U2 R' F // DR, 4a1 4e(6/10)

(U2 B2 R2 U2 F2 L2]) // LS(6/21)

[] = L2 R' F2 U2 R2 F2 D2 R L(+2/23)

Scammed by slice. Missed a double slice for 21, i looked at that htr but ended it in R' cause of blocks on R/L and didn't pay attention to F/B

The most normal 4/2/6 solution, lol

The only decent solve this week. Missed 21 cause i didn't know the 5move trigger for 4c6e->7c8e, sad but i'll remember it now

I also had this dr but like no:
(B2 D' R F)                        // eofb       (4/4)

B' D B D B' // 4b5 in 10

B R' F' L' // EO(4/4)
(B2 R2 F' B R2 F D) // DR, 4a2 4e(7/11)

R2 B2 L2 U2 // LS(4/21)

I found this slice at around 20 and knew i had at least a 23 so went into a complete spam mode, and missed pretty much everything, but this is such a bait scramble.

My only sub11 dr was:
B (D L B)
F2 D U2 B2 F2 R // 2c4 in 10, 23 opt

Fuuuuuck, how could i miss a 4b2 2e in 8, such a skull:
B D F                                // eofb      (3/3)
(B2 L)                               // arlr-eofb (2/5)
(U F2 D)                             // drlr-eofb (3/8)

(D' L2 U2 R') // EO(4/4)
(B' D' B' U' B') // DR, 2c3 4e(5/9)
D F2 U^ F2 R2 F2 R2 U'^ // HTR(8/17)
R2 U2^ R2 B2 U2^ B2 // LS(6-1/22)

^ = w(+0/22)

Meh for the scramble, but optimal from dr

There is a 21 from this but i didn't try the extension:
(D L2 U2 R)
(B') L2 D F D F
(U' R2 U' & R2 F2 U') // htr in 16 with slice in 22, but if you insert S2 at & then it's slice in 21 with +0

The only 20 that is remotely reasonable is this but like no:
(R2 D2 F)                 // eofb       (3/3)
(R2 U)                    // rzplr-eofb (2/5)
L' B2 L U R' D            // drlr-eofb  (6/11)
U2 R' U2 B2 L F2 U2 F2 L  // fin        (9/20)

(L D' F' B') // EO(4/4)
(L) // DR-4C4E(1/5)
U' R2 D' U2 R // DR, 2c4(5/10)
D F2 D' B2 D B2 D' // HTR(7/17)
R2 B2 U2 F2 B2 L2 F2 // finish(7/24)

Bad, there is a unique 23 from the dr but you have to do qt, switch and 1 move to 7move 2c3 2e trigger lol

Missed this rzp for 20, but otherwise none of the sub23s look particularly reasonable given the amount of sub5 eos:
D2 R' (L)                 // eolr       (3/3)
(F2 D')                   // rzpfb-eolr (2/5)
F2 L2 F2 U2 B' D          // drfb-eolr  (6/11)
F R2 B2 R2 U2 R2 B' U2 B  // fin        (9/20)

(L) U' D F' R // EO(5/5)
B' R2 B2 U' B2 U // DR, 4a2 4e(6/11)
B (B2 R2 U2 L2 D2 B') // HTR(7/18)
(R2 B2 L2 D2 B2) // finish(5-1/22)

Didn't write the niss 5mover for 21, but otherwise decent

D L' F' D2 B // EO(5/5)
L' B2 D2 L U // DR, 2c4(5/10)
L2 F2 L' B2 D2 L' F2 R B2 R' // HTR(10/20)
D2 F2 L2 U2 F2 // LS(5/25)

+0

Optimal from dr, fuuuuuck

Worked a bit on this dr, turns out it has an easy 23:
B' L' (D' R')
F B (D F2 U' D' B2 U B') // 4b2 2e in 13
R2 U2 F2 U' F2 D
U2 F' B' U2 F' B' // slice in 22+1

U' B' L' D // EO(4/4)
B // DR-4C4E(1/5)
R U2 B2 R2 B // DR, 2c3 4e(5/10)
(L2 U2 [R U2 L] D2 L') // HTR(7/17)
(U2 F2 U2 D2 B2) // LS(5-1/21)

[] = L F2 R(+0/21)

Tied mallard in 20 minutes from a dr i had at 10, love to see it

(U) B2 L' U' // EO(4/4)
(B L' F R' B R') // DR, 2c4(6/10)
L2 [B D2 B' L2 B L2 B' // HTR(8/18)
F2] R L F2 R' L' // LS(6-2/22)

[] = F L2 F' L2 F U2 F(-1/21)

Almost submitted this:
... U (...R)
(B' R2 B' D2 B R2 D2 B)
(L2 U2 F2) // slice in 21, +1

There's apparently a different 21 after (R' F), but you have to extend the htr, glad i got away with not checking that

Nice 20.33, pretty much a perfect mean, very cool to get those
