Using a 10+4 on this scramble didn’t feel stupid enough, so I went ahead and missed optimal from it too, just for good measure

(L F2 R) // EO(3/3)

U' B2 D F2 R2 B2 U' B2 U' // HTR(9/17)

Unique +13 optimal from DR uses 2qt with RLUD stuff, I like to think we'll find this in a couple years:
B' U L2 D2 F B U' D F D2 L2 B2 U D F

(L2 B D L2 F) // EO(5/5)
(D L' D L' F2 L) // DR 1qt4e(6/11)
B2 D (U L2 B2 L2 U') // HTR(7/18)
(B2 L2 U2 D2) // slice(2/20)
+2 for 22

This solution is a godsend that came at 48min, while I had no backup
This is my only set of DR with sub24 potential, found on the 91st EO out of 92 checked
Also this is the only 22 from the first 8 moves, despite the slice in 20

R2 B' L // EO(3/3)
D' F' D B' L2 F2 U // DR 2c3 2e(7/10)
R2 B' U2 F U2 L2 F D2 // slice(8/18)
+1 for 19

20.00 with only linear solutions lol

I found the 19 at 28min, and had this cool 21 at 10min:
B' L
R2 B' D B U2 F U B'
U2 F2 U' L2 F2 U
B2 R2 D2 L2 // slice(20), +1 for 21

Crazy how both of my solutions for this scramble use a 4e3c 5-mover

F R F' B L' // EO(5/5)
F2 D2 F U F // DR 4b2 2e(5/10)
B2 U2 L2 B2 U B2 U' // HTR(7/17)
R2 U2 B2 L2 // slice(4/21)
+0 for 21

Because of a questionable time management, I only found this DR at 50 minutes
Luckily the finish was easy, and I already had a backup 22

(D F2 L) // EO(3/3)
(B' D2 B' R2 D2 F' R2 B L2 B) // DR(10/13)
(F2 B2 U2 F2 B2 D2) // placeholder 2e2e
(D') // HTR
(R2 B2 L2 D2 L2 U2) // solved
remove the 2e2e for S slice in 20, +0 for 20

This solution requires some explanation, I first found:
(D F2 L)
R L F2 R' L' D // DR 5qt
This means that 5qt solutions for the JZP on inverse have potential to give 1qt DRs
So I just tried a lot of them, fishing for a 1qt DR with a short linear HTR

Also, I mainly did that because I couldn't solve any of my DRs xD
Because of the 8+5 I decided to only write sub-11 DRs, but they were almost all trash (and let's not even talk about the 8+5 itself xD)

(B D R' U2 L') // EO(5/5)
(B U F U' D B) // DR 4c3(6/11)
(D) U L2 D2 B2 D' // HTR(6/17)
F B L2 F' B' // slice(5/22)
+1 for 23

Feels nice to use DR-8e6c in my final solution :)

(U) // premove(1/1)
R2 B2 R' // EO(3/4)
U L2 B U' F' D // DR 2c3 2e(6/10)
(B' U2 R2 F' D2 R2 B) // HTR(7/17)
(D2 L2 F2) // slice(3/20)
+0 for 20

Wrote my first DR of the attempt at arround 30 min, and had 3 usable DRs in total
Really unexpected since the scramble was good EO-wise

F (U' R U' F) // EO(5/5)
L D' R2 D R' // DR 2c3 2e(5/10)
D L2 F2 D R2 D // HTR(6/16)
L2 B2 U2 F2 B2 // slice(5-1/20)
+1 for 21

8e7c 5-mover this time !

(D2 L D B') // EO(4/4)
(U' R' U' L' D L') // DR 2c3 2e(6/10)
(B2 D' L2 D' R2 U2 R2 D' F2) // slice(9/19)
+1 for 20

nice 6e4c 5-mover :)
2e surgery is possible to obtain another slice in 19, but it is also +1

Really happy with my solving this week

(F) U2 D B // EO(4/4)
(R') R' U2 R2 L2 U' L // DR 1qt(7/11)
(F2 L2 U2 F2 L2 D) // HTR(6/17)
(F2 L2 B2) // slice(3/20)
+2 for 22

found because I switched drm6e3c arm21 with 2 top pairs in 5 :)

(D B2 L2 F') // EO(4/4)
(U' R2 U2 B2 D L) // DR 4b2 4e(6/10)
(R2 D) B2 L2 F2 U // HTR(6/16)
R2 B2 U2 R2 // slice(4/20)
+1 for 21

Also had this variation heavy 10+2, on which 20 is possible from an 11-move extension after doing the RLUD hackery:
D' R L F'
R U D (U L2 U) // 4b2 4e

B2 D B' L' // EO(4/4)
F' R2 U2 D' @ F // DR 2c3 4e(5/9)
(R2 U' L2 U F2 U R2 L2) // 2e+slice(8/17)

@ : U2 F2 D2 B2 D2 F2 // slice(6-3/20)
+0 for 20

Somehow this slice is +0 while this 19 to slice is +2:
(R2 U' L2 U' B2 D2 B2 U' R2 L2)

(D') F R' D // EO(4/4)
(L2 B' R B' U2 B) // DR 2c3 4e(6/10)
(D2 R F2 L U2 B2 R') // HTR(7/17)
(U D F2 L2 U' D) // solved(6-2/21)

(F' U R2 L B) // EO(5/5)
(B D R' D' R B) // DR 4b2(6-1/10)
B2 D2 L' F2 L // HTR(5/15)
U2 D2 F2 L2 D2 L2 U2 // solved(7/22)

6-move EO-breaking trigger which cancels with EO :)

(B' L2 F' D) // EO(4/4)
(B) B2 R B' // DR 2c4(4/8)
D2 L D2 B2 L' D2 L F2 L // HTR(9/17)
U2 F' B' U2 F B' // solved(6-1/22)

only optimal from DR is this 20, and there are no other sub22:
F2 B' U2 R U2 R B2 R' U2 L F' B' U2 F

Also spent time on:

L (D' B2 R)
B2 D' R2 U2 F //2c3 4e(9) 21 optimal but requires a questionable path

The billion 10+3s from R2 B2 U (L) and L2 F2 D (L), apparently 20 is optimal on them, but I only looked for linear HTRs on them

(F' L' F2 R) // EO(4/4)
(U' B D' B R2 B') // DR 4b2(6/10)
(R2 D B2 D') // HTR(4/14)
(L2 B2 R2 D2 R2 F2 U2) // solved(7/21)

I checked (R L) U2 F L but somehow missed the epic D (U) into 7+2 from it

(U' R' B' R' D) // EO(5/5)
(B L' F' R' B' L) // DR 4a2 4e(6/11)
B' L2 B2 L2 D2 F // HTR(6/17)
U2 R2 D2 L2 D2 // slice(5/22)
+1 for 23

Really happy I spotted this crazy DR
Also had 23 from the 10+4

22 is possible from switching 6e3c AR-1e, I guess it's time to generate pairs+arm stats for this one

(R' D' F) // EO(3/3)
L (U L2 U B2 L) // DR 4b2(6/9)
D' L2 U // HTR(3/12)

remove (B2 L) for flipped 1qt in 10, and extend D' L2 U:

(R' D' F U L2 U) L U2 D R2 U // 1qt(11/11)
B2 L // HTR(2/13)
F2 B2 L2 F2 // slice(4/17)
+2 for 19

L2 F2 D L // EO(4/4)
D F U F' B2 D // DR 4b2 4e(6/10)
(U2 D2 B' D2 R2 F') // HTR(6/16)
(L2 U2 R2 B2) // E slice (4/20)
+3 for 23

Found countless great DRs in 10-11, but couldn't get anything together

Had this cool 11+2c3 ending with U F B:
R2 B2 U' L
F U' D2 F' U F B
But getting 22 from it requires extending to 12+3 and HTR in 19, and I was too much in a rush for that

(D L2 F B') // extended EO(4/4)
U (L' F2 L2 U') // DR 4b2 4e(5/9)
(B2 U2 F2 R' U2 F2 L') // HTR(7/16)
(D2 B2 L2 B2 L2) // solved(5/21)

(F L' B D) // EO(4/4)
(R' F' L2 U2 L F) // DR 4b2 4e(6/10)
D2 R' D2 R B2 L D2 B2 R' // HTR(9/19)
D2 B2 // slice(2/21)
+0 for 21

4e3c trigger into not so obvious 4qt solution to clutch sub21 mean :)

(F) L' F' B // EO(4/4)
([R) U' B2 U F2 L' // DR 4b2 4e(6/10)
F2 U' F2 L2 [U' D2 R2 // double slice(7-1/16) but actually 15

[ ] : U R2 U2 R2 L2 U2 R' // solved(7-3/20)

I almost missed the 5-move finish from HTR, since there was a +2 optimal slice in 19 on it
I only found the 20 because the double slice was already in FR relatively to FB, so I tried an unconventional replacement

Also had this independent slice in 19:
(D' R U' D')
B L (R F2 L')
(U2 B D2 L2 U2 B2 D2 B' L2 U2) // slice(19) +2 for 21

(D') F D // EO(3/3)
L' B L' F' L B2 L // DR 4b2 4e(7/10)
(B2 D2 F' L2 U2 B) // HTR(6/16)
(L2 F2 R2 L2 D2 L2) // solved(6-1/21)

I also had another +7 to DR on this RZP that breaks EO:
(D) F D
B2 D L' B L B' D //2c4(10)

(U') U' F R U // EO(5/5)
(D2 L2 U2 F' R) // DR 4b2 4e(5/10)
(F L2 F L2 F L2 F') // HTR(7/17)
(U D' F2 U' D') // slice(5-1/21)
+1 for 22

D2 F' R' F // EO(4/4)
R2 U L' D' B2 D // DR 2c3 2e(6/10)
R D2 L F2 D2 L // HTR(6/16)
F2 D2 F2 D2 R2 // slice(6/21)
+1 for 22

I had the variation heavy 10+4c3 on (R U2 B2 U' L) and (R D2 F2 U' R) JZPs on which sub22 is possible, but due to poor time management I barely looked at them

D' (D F2 U) // EO(4/4)
L' B (F R2 F R F') // DR 4b2 4e(7/11)
(L U2 F2 L F2 L F2 L) // HTR(8/19)
(R2 F' B U2 F B) // slice(5-2/22)
+0 for 22

That DR line looks so cursed, and its variation is even funnier:
L' B (B U2 B L F)

F R D' B // EO(4/4)
(U2 R D B2 L') // DR 4c4(5/9)
(R2 U' L2 U) U R2 U // HTR(7/16)
R L F2 R L' F2 // solved(6/22)

4c4 is surprisingly enjoyable to solve when the corners are perfectly setup on boths sides

Also had this horrible 9 to 2c4, 23 optimal
(U2 B U R F)
D2 R' U' R

D' B (R2 B) // EO(4/4)
U' L F2 D' F2 D // DR 2c3 4e(6/10)
B2 L' U2 L' F2 D2 L' // HTR(7/17)
U2 F2 // slice(2/19)
+1 for 20

Had nothing particularly good apart from that 20 which magically appeared

"Just find the 10+3" I guess

(R') // premove(1/1)
R' D' L U // EO(4/5)
L' B' U2 F U2 F R' // 4b2 2e(7/12)
(B' L2 B') // HTR(3/15)
(D2 R2 F2 D2 F2 U2 L2 D2) // solved(8/23)

I realized too late the scramble was horrible
Since I had nothing I had to check a few 12-move DRs
I got lucky with the +3 to HTR, but the finish was very challenging to spot

I later found these cool 10-movers, both 5qt
U2 B (U R' F)
(U L' D L' U) // 2c5(10)
or (U L U L' D) // 4b5(10)

F B D' L' // EO(4/4)
(U2 F D2 F') // DR 2c3 4e(4/8)
(D L2 U' B2 U) // HTR(5/13)
U2 F2 R2 F2 U2 // double slice(5-1/17)

+1 for M, +2 for E

(D') U L D // EO(4/4)
(F L' F B2 R' B) // DR 2c3 4e(6/10)
B2 U2 L F2 U2 R U2 R' // HTR(8/18)
U2 L2 U2 L2 B2 // slice(5-1/22)

+0

I had 2 leave slice in 21 on this DR, both +2

L U F B D // EO(5/5)
(R B L' B2 L') // DR 2c3 4e(5/10)
(B' L2 F' L2 F2 R2 F) // HTR(7/17)
(U' D F2 U D') // slice(5-1/21)

 +0

I love how this DR would be considered unfindable on an average scramble

Also not even DR optimal since there is a +10 with 5qt on this exact variation

B D2 L' U // EO(4/4)
F2 R F2 L B // DR 0qt4e(5/9)
(F2 U2 R' U2 D2 L') // HTR(6/15)
(U2 R2 B2) // slice(3-1/17)

+1

Optimal !

D' R2 L' U' // EO(4/4)
D2 F' (R' D2 F2 L' F) // DR 2c3 2e(7/11)
D2 R' U2 B2 R U2 R // HTR(7/18)
L2 B2 D2 F2 U2 // slice(4/22)

+1

I missed (U D) F' U smh, I shouldn't be making such a mistake

Because the scramble looked bad I did some RZP in 6 on the 4-movers, and this is the only usable DR I had

F R' (B2 L) // EO(4/4)
(B2 R2 U B2 D) // DR 4a2 2e(5/9)
B (B2 U2 L2 B') // HTR(5/14)
(R2 D2 L2 D2 L2 F2 R2 B2) // slice(8-1/21)

+0

Optimal from DR is 20 using 4qt, which I didn't consider at all given that +12 felt optimal for this subset

Also had 21 from:
(U B2 L D')
(B) R' D2 L' F // 2c4(9)

(U) F' R' U' // EO(4/4)
(F' L F B2 R) // DR 4b2 2e(5/9)
F2 R2 U2 F D2 F // HTR(6/15)
U2 L2 F2 R2 B2 U2 // slice(6/21)

+0

R2 U // EO(2/2)
(U2 F' L B) // DR 4c4(4/6)
(D2 R' U2 L D2 L2 F2 L' D2 L) // HTR(10/16)
(F2 B2 D2 R2) // slice(4/20)

+0

Finding the +0 took me way too much time

I tried some 6qt solutions but I couldn't find the 19

F' U' R2 F // EO(4/4)
R' U2 L U D // DR 2c3 6e(5/9)
(L D2 B2 L U2 F2 L) // HTR(7/16)
(R2 F2 U D R2 U D) // slice(7-4/19) but actually 18

+1

Literally the first HTR I tried lol

R' D (F D') // EO(4/4)
R2 F' B' L' B' R // DR 2c3 4e(6/10)
(R2 B' U2 F' R2 D2 B) // HTR(7/17)
(U2 D2 F2 R2) // solved(4-1/20)

I miscounted this as a 21, and only realized after the attempt it was 20 lol

R' F' L D' R // EO(5/5)
U' F2 U' D L2 B' // DR 1qt4e(6/11)
(L2 F2 B2 U) // HTR(4/15)
L2 U2 R2 B2 // wrong slice(4/19)

+3 for 22

Also had:
(R' U' L F' R)
(U2 R2 B U)
U2 L2 F' D2 F U2 F'
L2 F2 U D' F2 U D // slice(21) +1

(U) // premove(1/1)
R F2 L F // EO(4/5)
(R2 D2 B2 U' L' D) // DR 2c3 4e(6/11)
R U2 F2 B2 L F2 L // HTR(7/18)
D2 B2 L2 U2 // slice(4/22)

+1 for 23

I had nothing good, after finding this I spent time on the initial 9+5: R F2 L F (U' F2 D' L' U)
But optimal for it which is 22 uses (F L' F U2 B' R B L) for HTR lol

Also I found this very late, and didn't have time to try (D) as a premove, so I missed that (D) after EO leaves 2e3c, and 19 is possible from that

(U' L D') // EO(3/3)
(F L) L F' @ L // DR 4b2 4e(5/8)
(B' L2 U2 F2 R2 B) // HTR(6/14)
(U2 D2 R2) // 2e2e + slice(3/17)

@ : F2 R2 B2 L2 B2 R2 // slice(6-3/20)

+1 for 21

Funny how the 2e3c is already setup on both sides
20 is possible by extending the 8+2 into a 9+4

Also with the findable 18 on A2, this is the 3rd set in a row with WR potential in league

(D2 L2 F) // EO(3/3)
(R) U D L' U L' U R // DR 2c3 4e(8/11)
U R2 F2 U' L2 U' // HTR(6/17)
R2 F2 R2 D2 // slice(4/21)

+1 for 22

Optimal from all my DRs which I didn't expect

I spent way too much time trying to make this work:
(U2 R2 B L)
D L2 U R // 2c5(8)
(D) // HTR-3c(9)

Also on (L2 D2 F) I found:
D R L F2 R2 U' L // 4b2(10)
but missed the much easier 9+2s which lead to 18

(U') R' D2 B U // EO(5/5)
F' L' B2 R // DR 2c3 4e(4/9)
(F' U2 D2 R2 B U2 B') // HTR(7/16)
(U2 R2 U2) // slice(3/19)

+2 for 21

There is 20 on the other variation of the DR from an extension of a DR I had oops

(R' D' L F) // EO(4/4)
F2 U2 F2 R' U D // DR 4c3(6/10)
(L' U2 B2 R) U' D' L2 U D' R' // HTR(10-4/16)
D2 R2 U2 F2 R2 // slice(5-1/20)

+0 for 20

9.00 average DR finish length, after 9.67 last week, this is not supposed to happen...
