49 EOs (including 4 sub5 EOs), and only had 2 RZPs... screw this scramble bruh

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.

DR optimal

I actually had a number of good DRs to work with 
F (L R2 F), (R U2 F2 R2 D R) //2c3 2e (10) 21 optimal... (sad I missed that...)
F (L R2 F), U (D' R U R' D) //4a2 2e (10) 23 optimal but it looks weird
(L) F' D R, (D' F2 B2 L2 U' F) //2c4 (10) 22 optimal (ahhhh I didn't check this DR because of time)

U' D' R
(U R2 L2 D L2 D F) //4b2 4e (10)
(L2 D' R2 U L2 U% F2 U') //HTR (18)
(F2 R2 F2 B2) //LS (22)
%=E2 //FIN (23)

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.

(F2 R F B')
(D' R D2 U' L2 U' R D2 R') //4a2 4e (13)
(F2 U') D2% R2 D2 F2 R2 F2 U$ //HTR (22)
R2 B2 U2$ B2 //LS (26)
$=E, %=E2 //FIN +1=27

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.

IDK what made me think an RZP in 6 existed from that EO

(R'%) F2 L$ U2 B2 R D2 R'$ //HTR (16)
D2 F2 L2 U2 F2 //LS (21)
$=w %=M2 //fin (22)

this scramble was too exhausting... and I didn't even check any of my 4 move EOs because I spend too much time on RZP searching

(U2 D R)
(D) //switch on JZP (4)
U' F2 U' F2 U' L2 B2 D' //4a1 4e (12)
(B2 L2 B2$ L2 U2 % L2 F$) //LS (19)
$=w %=S' //fin (21)

I had the 13 move HTR, but the way I found this "finish" was by switching and solving it into HTR.
The way I found this DR was by treating it like a 4b2 4e case (I think that is standard practice?)

WELL... 23,22,21 = 22.00 PB mo3!!!
I'm so happy rn

lol, I thought this was a doomed scramble when I counted EO at the beginning. I did find other 23 slices, but they didn't +0

spent a while on the [U (L U)] EO, but that didn't yield anything good, and so I was only able to check that and [U/U' B' L' D] at the 30 minute mark, so I feel kinda lucky
