I found 2 different 4 move niss HTRs on this DR and was trying to really find decent finishes off of them... but this is optimal so I'm fine

got a 22 on the first HTR I checked so I had zero stress lol (but proceeded to not find anything better)
This also was the only EO and RZP checked, as it gave me this 8 move 2c3 and R2 F U2 F R for a 9 move 2c3 2e, and immediately went to looking for the optimal from these DRs

I got cursed by keeping on getting 4x after VR, which made finding a good slice solution quite miserable
22 was optimal from this DR, which I LITERALLY CHECKED THAT HTR... ffs

I got exhaused looking for RZPs on the EO skip, that I barely checked any of the EOs I wrote down.
still funny how I was able to find 2 different 2+2s on the FB axis (which gave me nothing, but still)

I also found a 22 slice that couldn't even +1... sad
other DRs I had were a 9 to 2c4, 10 to 2c4, and 11 to 2c3,4 and 5, 4a4,4b4
I found four 3 move EOs which was all I checked because I'm too slow... so I didn't even check the 4 movers I wrote down.

Sucks when the other 10 move DR was a 0c3
A lot of these EOs were RZPs, so I felt like I would've had too much to check if I cared to look at any of the 5 movers.

yeah uhhh... I only had this DR and a 12+4 because nothing gave an RZP in 5 after checking all 29 EOs I had, so I started to do extra moves on the two 4 movers. (and still missed optimal from a DR I forced)

This scramble was so doomed and I half gave up because I only had a 13+4 with 20 minutes left, then this appeared.
