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

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)

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:

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

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

I wrote (F) B L U F but didn't check 1+4s cause i decided to invest time in the 9+2, noooo. I guess the "guess the right 5mover" game continues from week 1
Also 6 22s in a row in league is genuinely hilarious

Basically just run out of time, there's just too much on this scramble, i didn't even check all my 4movers. The dr i used in final is 22 opt
Spent the most time on this:
(D2 B)
L' U R' D' F2 R2 U // 2c3 2e in 9
This is a pretty easy 21 from it:
...U' R2 B2 D
(U2 D2 L' B2 L' D2 L')
B2 R2 U2 B2 U2 // slice in 21+0
I had the htr and a slice in 22 from it but didn't switch it to whack unfortunately
There's also this which i should've found but i didn't whack 4b2 4e reductions in 1:
U' L2 F2 U B2 R' U2 B2 R2 U2 L' D2 U2 B2 L2 R' B' (17)
There is a unique 20 from this dr but i don't think it's findable unless you whack the exact htr variation?

Other:

(R) R2 F' L
(U F L2 U2 F) // 4a3 in 9, didn't explore
I also don't have any other explanation except that i didn't notice that i didn't check U/D eo extensions on normal for missing the 4b2 in 8 from F' L F' U, probably misscrambled somewhere on 3mover and skipped them or something, lol.
Also the first time seeing this idea of turning jzp into a different jzp and doing a qt that preserves it, wtf:

WTF was this scramble, i had literally no sub12 drs until the last eo i had written down, and it had this which immediately spawned from dr
turns out there is a 21 from switching L R F U' B (U2 R2) into 5c4e 4mover, which i totally should've found with the 5c practice i've done recently, but i only was looking at 5c6e side of that eo after switching cause it had 4 pairs, ugh

Crappy scramble, there is a 20 from eo i didn't have cause i misscrambled the first time writing normal eos so my niss tracing on L was wrong when i did it and i didn't redo it after rescrambling
