Stopped after 45 minutes because eh

(D' L)
(F' U F D2 F2 U2 B D) // 10, 4b2 6e
(R2 D2 L2 B U2 F)
(U2 L2 F2 R2 B2 D2) // 22

First thing I tried, did not find anything better afterwards, got lazy.

I fucking hate sprint scrambles

D' (F' B2 D')
(F U2 R F2 L' F) // 10, 4b2 6e
R2 U2 L' D2 R 
U2 L2 B2 U2 L2 B2 L2 B2 // 23 ugh

Did not try 4q because I was too overwhelmed in trying to find any solution at all. Not necessary in the end because the 22 DR optimal is from the exact HTR I used, but the finish destroys basically all premade blocks from the HTR and is just way too unintuitive to me. Maybe switching after HTR would have helped but eh. All those short blocky HTRs but they led to nothing. 

EDIT: Turns out I am also too bad at spotting quarter turn leave slices, Rogo found the other optimal that uses it.

D (F' B2 D') (R' F2 L D2 R2 B) // 10, 4c3, 23 opt, looked at it briefly and concluded it was shit
(U) F R F U' / D2 F2 R2 F2 R' B or B2 L2 F2 U2 L' B // 11, 4a2, 23 and 24 opt, did not look at those

Typical sprint scramble. I switched F2 R2 F R, which gives 4b2 in 11 for 21, but did not see the DR. Welp.

U' R F D'
R' ([F' D2 B2 R]) // 9, 2c4 4e 
D2 B U2 B' L2 F U2 F // HTR (17)

From here, I was at 56 minutes and the finish looked bad, and I had nothing. I still tried whacking the variation:

[] = (F' U2 F2 L) // (still 17)
U2 L2 U2 B2 U2 B2 // Solved, phew (23)

Optimal from this variation, 22 is DR optimal. Started working on this DR at 47 minutes and it turned out to be pretty tricky to figure out. +1 from optimal is pretty good for having 13 minutes for 2c4.

The other variation that I discarded is 22 optimal and requires switching after the first qt, which I did, but I did not invert the DR move on the other side, so I missed it. Idk if I would have found the leave slice from the HTR in the time scramble anyways, and solving the slice would have been a pain in the ass. 

Also I had the 21 opt 11 to 2c4 from the 0c0e RZP on normal but eh no.

U' D B'
D B2 D' R U' L // 9, 4b2 2e
R2 F2 B2 U' R2 U
F2 R2 B2 U2 L2 D2 // Slice (21), widen everything to solve (rare +0 4b2 slice, tho not really)

I have the feeling I missed something very easy but this is the only optimal from this DR. 

Edit: seems like everything looked better than it turned out to be, I'm glad I had the 4 variants of this DR in mind and didn't miss the easy optimal :D still waiting to see someone find some deranged 20 or sub-20, there is bound to be.

All my DRs seem to be 21 optimal at best, the only other notable DRs except the 3 other variants of this one are:

(L' U F) L' D (L D' R2 D) // 9, 4b2 6e, both variants 21 opt

(U L' F) (L2 U D2 R L2 D2 R' D) // 11, 4a1 4e, this has 14 to HTR but it's eh, has 21 to E but it's bad

Also only managed to check 9 out of 45 EOs that I wrote, misscrambled too much and there was too much to check on the short ones.

Good start into league

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

I somehow missed the 23 from the linear 2q HTR...

Edit: I'm pretty bad at spotting setups to the trigger from 4b2 6e when there is U2 parity, did not see that you could setup the trigger in 3 moves from one of the variants of this DR...

Edit 2: Ok I'm double bad, had the exact RZP that Brian had but did not see the 3 moves to trigger, what a waste of 21.67 :(

DR in 12 moment, miscounting the 10 to 4b2 as 4b5 didn't matter anyways

(U R' L2 D')
(L) L2 F' R2 F' D2 F' L // 12, 4a1 4e (this was JZP with 3 pairs but it was shit)
U2 B2 L2 ^ B
F2 R2 D2 R2 // Slice + 2e (20)

^: L2 B2 U2 B2 L2 D2 F2 D2 // Slice in 22

+0 because of the F2 B in the solulu

Unique optimal for the DR and the variations (those were 4a1 6e/8e), every other variation is some 3q or 5q bullshit anyways

Also I miscounted the 10 to 4b2 as 4b5 thrice, what the hell

Got trolled by the 4b2 4e

(U F R2 L' D')
(F2 B' L B2 L')
(B2 U2 B D2 L2 F')
(U2 F2 L2 B2 R2) // 21 to fucking doomed E Slice +4

Also missed the DR that Brian had somehow, even though I had the RZP written down, rip

F (U' B R' D' F2 D' F2 U R) // 10, 2c3 3e
D2 R2 D R2 D R2 L2 D2 F2 L2 U' L2 U2 // 23, Slice
 
+1

I'm mad rn, don't talk to me

11 to 4b2 moment

U' F2 L' D'
R' U2 F D2 F B2 L // 11, 4b2 6e 
(U2 B' L2 F)
(B2 U2 R2 F2 D2 L2) // 21-1

This is effectively 19 to slice +1 but I found it as the direct finish at first. Had a 10 to 4b2 6e that I looked at first, but turns out I mistraced parity and it was 4b5, so this was the next best thing I had.

Just 4b2 things. Same solution as my mallard.

Fuck

(B D2 L) // EO (3/3)
B (U' B2 R2 U D' F) // DR, 4b2 6e (7/10)
(R2 [U' L2 D')] // HTR (4/14)
(B2 R2 U2 L2 B2 R2 B2 R2) // Slice (8/22)

[] = (D' B2 U') // Solved (+0/22)

Man. 21 opt, I believe I had the HTR...

(L' U' F D) 
R B2 L2 B' L2 D2 B // 11, 4b2 4e with 8 variations 
(F2 L) R2 B2 U2 D2 R' // HTR (18)
D2 R2 U2 F2 U2 // Slice (23)

+1

There is a single unique 22 from one of the variations with 4q. I was looking for DRs up until 45 minutes and did not find anything decent, so no chance to find it

Miscounting the DR be like

(R2 U') // EO (2/2)
L2 F (R F' R2 F') // DR, 4a3 4e (6/8) miscounted it as 7 lol
D2 F2 L (B2 L F2 B2 U2 R) // HTR (9/17)
(U2 B2 R2 U2 F2) // Slice (5/22)

+1

Mismanaged my time because of that, had a lot of good DRs, so pretty bad result

(L) B L' 
U' D' F' D2 L2 B // 9, 4a1 2e variation hell
F2 U' R2 F2 B2 U R2 U' 
B2 U2 R2 F2 L2 // 22-1

Missed the 20 tho, did not check the HTR path off of F' U2 R2 F, tho I'm happy with 1 off optimal on a variation hell scramble.

Had a 22 at first that I miscounted as 23 and did not expect anything better, so I got somewhat lazy in looking for better stuff, so it's good that this popped up in the last 10 minutes randomly.

This is ptsd material

(F2 R2 B')
(D L2 U' L') // 7, 2c3 4e
(U) R2 U' F2 R2 L2 D 
B2 U2 L2 B2 L2 // Slice (19)

+1 for final

Missed the unique 19 optimal again, this DR in 7 shit is just out of my realm it seems.
I almost forgot to check the EO so at least I did something right

U' (R' B' U) 
B' U2 L2 F' L // 10, 2c4
(R2 B D2 B) F' L2 F
R2 U2 L2 U2 B2 U2

That scramble is a load of barnacles

D' R (B' L) // EO (4/4)
(U [F D2 B U2 B'] L2 F B2 U') // DR, 4b2 4e (10/14)
D2 F (L2 B) // HTR (4/18)
(R2 F2 D2 R2) // Leave H-Perm (4/22)
(R2 U2 D2 L2 F' L2 U2 D2 R2 B) // Solved (10-4/28)

[] = B R2 B L2 F' z2 // Leave 4x (0/28)

(...{F' L2 U2 D2 R2 F' B} D2 R'...)

{} = (B' D2 R2 L2 U2 z2) // BIG CANCEL (-2-3/23)

What a solution, should have probably found it more linearly...

U' L U F' // EO (4/4)
L2 F2 D R D' R // DR, 2c4 2e (6/10)
(U2 L2 U^) U^' R2 U^ R2 U^ // HTR (8/18)
L2 F2 L2 U2 B2 // Slice (5/23)

^: w // Solved (+0/23)

Last minute slice insertion, phew. Optimal after DR.

Also had this, found nothing better than 23 to slice tho:

(D) U' B' U
(R' D2 B R F') // 9, 2c4
(R' B2 R' F2 U2 L' U2 L) // HTR (8/17)
(D2 L2 B2 U2 B2 L2) // Slice, idk if +0 (23)

And it looks like this is also at least 23 optimal because nissy gives me some weird EO extension for 22...

So from my DRs (had another 23 opt 11 to 2c3 4e), there was nothing better than 23...

Found the same solution twice (optimal after DR) but the first I found was unnecessarily complex.

U F2 R' B' D' // EO (5/5)
F' B' L' B' // DR lol, 2c3 4e (4/9)

1)
L^ (D2 R^ D2 B2 L2 D2 B2 U2 R) // HTR (10/19) was just trying to solve the case and this happened
(D2 L^2 D2 R2) // Slice lol (23 but actually 22)

^: w // Solved (-1/22)

2)
R B2 ^ R (D2 L) // HTR (5/14) much more normal, but also found the HTR starting from normal
B2 D2 F2 R*2 U2 B2 // Slice + 2e (6/20)

^: B2 R2 F2 L*2 F2 R2 // Slice (6-4/22)
*: w // Solved (+0/22)

Had nothing else to work with so at least I found optimal for it.

(U) F2 B' U' // EO (4/4)
D2 L2 B L2 F' // DR, 4c3 4e (5/9)
R ([R2 B2 L' B2 L) // HTR (6/15)
(R2] B2 R2 F2 U2 F2 D2 B2) // Solved (8/23)

[] = (L2 F2 L' F2 L') // Downsize (-1/22)

One hell of a scramble...DR is 21 opt but idk.

(R2 U' D2 R' D) U2 B U2 F' U // 10, 4b2 2e is 22 opt but I did not see the 4 moves to trigger.

So many juicy RZPs and I went away with nothing at all

B' (L2 F') // EO (3/3)
(R) U2 L2 U' R // DR, 2c3 6e (5/8)
D F2 U B2 R2 L2 D' // HTR, I always forget that this trigger exists (7/15)
F2 D2 F2 L2 U2 // Slice (5/20)

+1 of course

Tired solve, so this is fine. Did not know how to handle the variation hell of DRs I got, so I'm glad I could circumvent it with this DR. Looks like you can extend the trigger by 1 move to get to HTR in 16 and solved in 20 (or switch and do the 4 HTs on the other side). Did not look at anything except this and the next DR.

Other:

B' L D R2 F (L' D R U) // 9, 2c4 (22 opt, looked at this briefly; fun fact nobody needs to know: DRU means digital rectal examination in German)

B' (L2 F), (L2 D) F2 U R2 L2 D // 10, 4c3 (23 opt)

B' (L2 F), U R F2 B2 U2 R2 U // 10, 4c3 (23 opt)

B' (L2 F), (U2 L) R2 L2 D // 9, 0c4 (21 opt but yeah why would I look at this)

U (U2 B2 R' D) // EO (5/5)
(U2 F' B R' B L) // DR, 2c3 2e (6/11)
(B U2 L2 B D2 B') // HTR (6/17)
(D2 R L B2 R L) // Solved (6/23)

No cancellation, sadge. Optimal after DR. First thing I tried and it decided to just be solved. Tried a ton of other stuff afterwards but nothing worked. Had not much else, so still happy with 23.

Other:

U' L' B D 
(R2 B R2 B2 R F R2 F') // 12, 4a1 6e (24 opt, looked at this for a really long time)

U2 R U2 R // EO (4/4)
B (U' R2 L2 U' B') // 10, 4a1 4e (6/10)
(F2 L2 F2 L2 D') // HTR (5/15)
(L2 D2 L2 U2) // Leave S (4/19)

+3 of course

Optimal after DR, +14 for 4a1, typical

U2 R U2 R 
B U2 F2 L2 D2 F2 D' B // 12, 0c0 (23 opt)

(F' L2 U' D2 F')
(R2 U D L' U2 L) // 11, 4a2 (24 opt, this was my backup: (U2 L2 U B2 U2 R2 U, B2 R2 L2 D2 R2 U2)

And then 2 4c4 in 10 (24, 25 opt) and a 4b2 4e in 11 (idk).

Damn...

(U' F2 D)
L B L U2 B2 L' F' // 10, 2c3 4e but it's so doomed
(F2 L B2 U2 L D2 L')
(B2 D2 R2 B2 D2 R2 D2) // Slice (24)

+0

Good start wow, this shit is 23 opt

Edit: ok how did I miss the 9 to DR 

(R2 F L U') // EO (4/4)
F L' F2 L F' L // DR, 4b2 (6/10)
(L2 U2 F D2 F') // HTR (5/15)
(B2 U2 R2 F2 U2 R2 B2) // Solved (7/22)

Unique optimal of the DR. Damn.

Really shitty scramble but doesn't matter if there is one singular good DR. Only found 26 EOs, NISSed the 3 mover and every 4 mover and only workable DR I had was this. I missed 5 of the 16 4 movers, so there's that.

Mallard only finds a 22 on my settings, so let's see what the others found...

(D) L2 F R U' // EO (5/5)
(F2 R' D2 B2 R' L F) // DR, 4b2 2e (7/12)
L (D2 R) // HTR (3/15)

I did not find the 8 move finish (U D L2 U D F2 B2 R2) until after the hour for this. Instead, I did this under the hour:

(...F') // DR
L (B2 U2 L') // HTR (4/16)
(D2 L2 U2 D2 F2 D2 F2) // Solved (7/23)

What a scramble...checked 61 EOs and this was somehow the only thing I had. Optimal from this DR variant, but the other variant that goes (F2 R' U2 F2 R L' B) for DR has a 22 somehow, even though it looked worse to me. I tried the HTR I think, but the finish wasn't obvious to me unfortunately.

There's an 18 from 0c4 in 7 lmao, ain't nobody finding that

B L' F U2 R
(U2 F' B' U2 B D') // 11, 2c3 4e
(B R2 F D2 R2 F) 
(B2 D2 L2 U2 F2 L2) // Slice (23)

+0

Did not have the time or the mental capacity to find the path for the 22, which is unique optimal for the DR, because I started working on this at 50 minutes again, smh.

Even though we are getting all the 2 move EOs, this was not easy. Somehow Mallard only finds a 21, using the EO I used of all the ones there are on the scramble, but finds a 12 to 4a1 with a 9 move finish, wow.

Other DRs:

(U2 F' D) B' L (F' R2 L2 F2 B' R) // 11, 4b2 4e, only had a 24 to slice that was surely not +0 (23 opt with a 4q path that I almost checked the right way, but only almost)

(L) F2 B' L 
D (F' R2 F' B2 U') // 10, 4c4 again (24 opt)

Ok I'm crying I thought this was a 24 wtf

(U2 R F2 D F2 R2 B' D') // 8, 4c4
D2 F R2 B (L2 B2 D2 F' U2 F) // HTR (18, not 16 bruh)
(U2 D2 L2 F2 D2) // Slice (23)

+1

Had this solution early on and somehow miscounted it being a 22, wtf. Had a ton of DRs but they all had high qt subsets, can't wait to see what I missed again

(D R U R F) // EO (5/5)
R' B2 D R' U // DR, 4c4 (5/10)
F2 L' F2 R (D2 L2 B2 L U2 L') // HTR (10/20)
(B2 D2 L2 D2) // Solved (4/24)

Pretty depressing stuff, can't wait to see what I missed. This is optimal after DR though, which is nice because I started this during the last 8 minutes. I had these as well:

(L) B D B L
U B' R2 B' D // 10, 2c4 (23 opt but I did not find anything except a 25, looking at the paths I would not have tried them)

(L B' U' D L)
(U) D R2 D' F2 D // 11, 4c3 (25 opt T_T)

L (R' L' B R) // I had the RZP, but did not find the DR in 11 for 23, nor its extension for 22

(R2 D' B R)
F D R2 D2 F D2 F' // 11, 2c3 2e
U' R2 D' R2 B2 D // HTR (17)
R2 B2 U2 L2 B2 R2 // 23-1

R U2 R // EO (3/3)
(F U) D2 B R2 F' U // DR, 4c3 6e (7/10)
(D2 B) D2 R2 B U2 B // HTR (7/17)
R2 F2 L2 U2 F2 // Slice (5/22)

+0

Checked 60 EOs and in the end used the very first I looked at, wow

F2 U' D' F' U (D2 R' B2 R D) (10, 4c3, 23 opt)
U (L U B D) (F' U2 R2 F B2 L) (11, 4b2 4e, 24 opt)

This one just straight up imploded, looked like I had good stuff and nothing worked in the end

(R B L2 B L) D L2 U D B2 D F // 12, 4a2
(F2 U) L2 F2 R2 F2 U' 
F2 R2 F2 R2 U2 L2 B2 D2 // 27 :(

Missed a +5 to slice for 24 during the time scramble, pretty depressing

F' D2 F' // EO (3/3)
R' L' B2 U D L' D' L' // DR, 2c3 2e variation hell (8/11)
D L2 F2 D L2 D // HTR (6/17)
L2 B2 // lmao (2/19)

I had nothing until 45 minutes, because the scramble was so overwhelming. Then I decided to just finish the 2c3 2e that I found in the first 10 minutes and set aside. I actually only looked at the variations on normal and tried linear HTRs. 

First thing I found was a 23 to slice +0 from the other EO, and after getting that as backup, I decided to look at the variations and somehow, this HTR just decided to solve itself at 55 minutes. I panicked a bit before I was able to write it down.

I almost did not check this EO variation, but now I'm happy I did. This was the last of the 4 variations that I crunched, so I got really unlucky and lucky at the same time :D

Nope

U' F2 U
(R' F) L2 F2 B' R' B' // 10, 4a1 4e
R2 D2 B2 U2 R // HTR (15)
D2 L2 F2 L2 F2 L2 D2 // Slice (22)

+0

Optimal after DR, unfortunatekly missed the 21 from the other EO variant (that I thought was worse, of course)

(L) D R2 D R'
(B L2 U' B D) // 10, 4b2 2e
U2 R2 F D2 F'
L2 B2 U2 L2 F2 L2 U D' L2 U' D // 26-2

Took too long finding DRs, and did not find any good 4q finishes, so I just bullshitted something in the last minute. Luckily it cancelled rather well.

Maybe not too good of an idea to watch the livestream during the attempt

Had to submit my backup which I thought was a 22 (miscounted HTR as 13 lol)

(D2 F2 B' R) // EO (4/4)
(B) U2 F D2 B' // DR, 4b2 6e (5/9)
D2 F2 D R2 U // HTR (5/14)
B2 D2 L2 D2 R2 F2 R2 // S Slice (7/21)

+2

There was a 19 that I missed of course, the setup to trigger was not obvious to me unfortunately...

Only had variation hell DRs (10 to 2c3 4e I didn't check but that one also has like 4 variations, so whatever)

(D2 F2 B' R)
(B D R2 U) // 4b2 6e in 8 has a 19, but I wouldn't consider it findably for me (expecting a couple 19s from the others)
I also missed the 20 from the U F2 D variant which is kinda dumb, but the 3 move HTR setup and the finish both look kinda tricky to me. 

(F B') L' B // EO (4/4)
(L) U' R2 U' F2 U2 D' L' // DR, 4a1 4e (8/12)
F2 [U2 L2 U] // HTR (4/16)
R2 F2 B2 R2 F2 L2 // Slice (5-1/21)

[] = D2 R2 U' D2 // Solved (+1/22)

Optimal after DR, same solution as my mallard finds.

Only found 30 EOs, scramble was looking kinda shit. Also had another 4a1 in 11, also 22 opt, but I couldn't find it, so I looked at the DR in 12 during the last 10 minutes or so.

L' D R' L U
B (B D2 F U2 F') // 11, 4a1 4a with JZP

B' R2 F' // EO (3/3)
R' (R2 D' U2 [F2 L D2 F2 L]) // DR, 4a1 (9/12)
F2 {U // HTR (2/14)

[] = B2 L B2 U2 R // variation maxxing (+0/14)

D2} F2 B2 L2 F2 // Slice, but it's doomed (5/19)

{}= B2 U' D R2 D' // Solved (+3/22)

Tried center insertions etc. but did not get anything better...somehow still missed a 21 that uses double slice :(((

Edit: fucked up the 3e insertion, did not realise you can swap F2 and B2...well, but you had to also do some double slice shenanigans, so whatever

R2 F' (L F) // EO (4/4)
(D' R L2 B2 U L2 D L') // DR, 4a1 6e (8/12)
(D) [U F2 U // HTR (4/16)
R2 L2 U2] B2 L2 F2 // Slice (6/22)

[] = U' D2 B2 U R2 L2 D2 // Solved (+1/23)

Optimal after DR. Best optimal from all the DRs I had. Mallard also only finds 23 on my settings...
