(D' F R)
F' D', F2 B2 D' F' D // 10 4b2 2e
2q is mid here, I only found 23 from it... SO 4q!!!!
(F2 B U2 B R2 B R2 L2 F)
(U D' L2 U D) // 5-2/22
Slicing down to 21 to slice doesn't give +0 so I just left my solution like this

2nd time solving 4b5 I think
(F) L2 B
(U'), R' L D2 R D' // 9 4b5 4e
(D2 R U2 R B2 L' B2 L U2 R)
(U2 B2 D2 B2) // 23
My extensions were bad but it's possible I missed one
Ah yes, of course, found these after the attempt
R' L D' B2 U' L U // 11 2c3 6e
R' L D' F2 D' R D // 11 2c3 6e

Oops missed F2 L rzp which gives 22 through 10 4b2 2e
I also missed 2e3c in 6 on the 2+2 eo which gives 21 through 10 4b2 2e rip, looks like I should write down more rzps

This has to be the most cursed shit ever
On this DR set I had slice in 21 +2 THREE TIMES and 20 to slice +3 💀
U2 R'
F' B, L2 U' R2 B L2 D2 F // 11 0c0 4e
(R2 D F2 B2 U)
(F2 L2 D2) // S+E (19)

Rewrite
F' B, L2 U' R2 B L2 D2 B R2 D2 F' B'
(R2 D F2 B2 U) // 20 to E, +3 😭😭😭
Too much 21 to slice, I don't feel like typing it all

Oh yeah also had this 22 to slice on 4q but it's +1 😭:
(U' F' L2 D)
(B) // 0e2c (5)
(D' R' U2 R D) // 10 2c4 2e
(R' B2 L' D2 F2 L' U2 D2 F2 R U2 F2) // M (22)

Suprised I didn't get 22, had some decent drs
(R' U) F U' // EO (2+2/4)
(R D2 R' L B' R) // 10 2c3 6e hmm kinda bad
so EXTEND!!!
(R D2 R' B2 R B' L) // 11 4a1 4e noice
R2 U2 R2 L2 F2 L2 F' // HTR (18)
R' L D2 B2 R L' // 6-1/23

The unextended version of this dr is 22 optimal through 5q.
Wait the extended version is 22 opt through 1q bruh, I missed the htr because I checked R2 U2 F2 L2 F but not L2 D2 F2 R2 B are we fr

Erm okay
(D R U' F') // 88
U // 44 (5)
(R U2 L F2 L' D) // 11 4b2 2e
(F2 R U2 L)
(D2 F2 D2 B2 R2 F2 R2) // 22
Also found this +11:
(F2 R' D2 R2 U2 L')
(D2 F2 D2 L2 B2)

Oh my goodness I forgot to write down the E2 variation of the dr 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
(D R U' F')        // eofb               (4/4)
U                  // rzplr-eofb         (1/5)
(R D2 R B2 R' D')  // drlr-eofb [4b2 2e] (6/11)

R2 U2 (D2)         // frud               (3/19)
B2 L2              // fin                (2/21)

Here were the drs I was mainly working off of:
(U) L2 U'
L, (D2 F U2 L' D2 L) // 10 2c3 2e

D L U F
(D L2 B2 D' L) // 9 2c4

(U' D R F')
(D, L2 U L' U) // 9 4c3 2e

Doing an F2 after the L2 here gives 10 2c3, 21 opt (forgot to check this variation rip)

I thought with these kinda drs I could've gotten a 21, but didn't find anything too good off of them.
On the 10 2c3 2e, however, I did have 22 to slice.

Aw man I though I was gonna beat pr mean :(
For starters I had 22 to slice on this dr (22 opt through 4q):
(F' B' R' L2 B')
(D), L U R' U // 10 4b2 2e
L2 D2 B2 R U2 D2 B2 R
U2 B2 D2 F2
But then I realized it didn't +0 so I just looked for other things
There's actually a 21 on this rzp through 15+6 lmfao

U D' F' R // 44
(U F2 L2 U2 B' U') // 10 2c4 4e
B (B' U2 [L2 F'] U2 B R2) // 3e 18
I found 2 different +5s off of this (later found out that +5 is optimal)
Here's the one I submitted:
[]=(D2 R2 B' D2 L2 U2 F2) // +5/23

(B' U' F' R)           // eolr               (4/4)

(R2 B2)                // fin                (2/21)
Oops forgot to check this eo lol

F' L B' // 44
(D2 B2 R F2 R' D) // 9 4c3 2e

+1/21

Never got around to checking the 2+2 eo because of poor time managment... found this afterwards
(U L) F' L' // 3e4c
U D2 L2 B' U' L2 U2 R2 F // 13 2c3 2e
L2 U2 D R2 D B2 U R2 // 21 lmfao

Also had this cool dr
F L B'

(F2 R' U2 L) // 9 4c4 2e

Are we joking
F' L B'           // eofb               (3/3)

Didn't even have this dr smh🥀🥀🥀
Oh well another day

Also what in the world
F' L' (U L)     // eolr               (4/4)

(L2 R2)         // fin                (2/16)
I wonder if anyone finds this, that would be funny

F D' R
F // 6e4c+jzp
D2 L2 B2 U F2 D // 10 4c3 4e
(B R2 B2 L2 U2 F' D2 F' L2 F2) // E+S (20)
+1, +1 for 22

Finding this eo was pretty cool, there was probably something very good off of it
B' (F' D L2 B') // EO+6e4c jzp (5)
The 10 4c3 4e here is pretty bad, so EXTEND
([F2 U2 B2 R2 L2 D' F2 B2 L2 D) // 15 4a1 4e lol
(U2] R) // HTR (17)
(U2 F B D2 L2 F B') // Finish! (7-2/22)
I just found this by doing (U2 F2 L2 U2) to S (21), and then inserting +3 which cancelled 2 moves with NISS.
[]: Tried slicing this out to 21 to slice, hoping for +0. Unfortunately found nothing of the such.

A more obvious extension that I found 23 from:
B (F' D L2 B)
(D2 L2 F2 U B2 D) // 11 4a1 4e
F B' L2 F B L2 B2 L // HTR (8-2/17)
I kinda noticed that UD is in a floppy-4e state, so I extended the dr again to fix it and put it into floppy:
(D^2 L2 F2 U R2 L2 F2 [U]) // 13 4a1 4e
F B' L2 F B L2 B2 L // HTR (8-2/19)
(F2 L2 F2) // E (22)
^=w
[]=Uw2 U'
+1/23

Mallard finds a different 22 on this eo:
B' (F' D L2 B)    // eofb               (5/5)
                  // rzpud-eofb         (0/5)
D2 F2 U2 R2 B2 R  // drud-eofb [4b2 2e] (6/11)
U' (D2 R2 B2 D')  // htr-drud           (5/16)
(F2 D2)           // frud               (2/18)
(F2 R2 B2 R2)     // fin                (4/22)
Didn't have this dr hmm

Spent a lot of time on this EO, paid off.

Edit: missed a 20 from (B' U' D R) (4e4c). Yes, I knew that this eo gave premade rzp. No, I did not write down the linear dr from it lmao
I'm quite happy with 22 though :)

Holy shenanigans
(F2 B2 % U' B) // 2c4 4e-3c (4)
%=(F' D' F U2 F' D F U2) // Placeholder 3c insertion 8-2/10
L (R^2 D2 L^' D2 R^' U2 R) // HTR (18)
(B2 L^2 U2 B2 U2) // M (23)
^=w
+0/23

Undo insertion for 17 to 3c:
L U2 B2 U2 Lw2 B2 R' U2 Rw D2 Lw D2 Rw2 [B' U] F2 B2
[]=D' B' U2 B D B' U' // +5/22

20, 22, 22 = 21.33 (pb2 I believe)

Fun fact about this solve, this is NOT the first time I have gotten and submitted 23 off of 11 2c4 6e
Nice little linear solve, found at 28
(U' D2 R B' D') // EO+2e4c (5)
(F2 U2 D2 F U2 F') // 11 2c4 6e
(R' B2 R' F2 D2 R F2 R2 F2 R) // long extended htr
(D2 F2) // 23 lol

I admit to not checking my 2+3 eos lol, I'm sure I didn't miss anything too crazy
Oh bruh
L (B U F2 L')         // eolr               (5/5)

Solution (20): L' U2 F D2 F2 L2 F U2 B2 D L2 F' L2 F' U2 B L F2 U' B'

This looks very finable, I had some 12 4a2 2e variation of this dr and it was horrible lol, should've checked other vars but oh well

(U' D2 B' R2 D')  // eoud               (5/5)

Solution (21): D2 B2 R2 F' R F' U2 F2 L B2 D2 F2 L2 F2 L' U2 D R2 B U D2

Wait I had this dr broooo
I didn't really check it that well and the 2+3 htr seems like I would've had to put a good amount of effort into searching the dr... I probably should've checked it better considering having 23 early on

(F U2 L2 D') // EO+4e4c (4)
(R' B2 R' D2 F R2 U2 F) // 12 0c0 2e 4 var
(B2 R' D2 B2 U2 R) // HTR (18)
(U2 B2) // M (20)
+2/22 meh

The best that my Mallard finds from this dr set is 23 so 22 is probably optimal from dr set

This scram had a lot of juice, 4 moves to 2e3c!
B2 R D', R

Some honorable mentions:
R F' B // holy blocks

(F U2 L2 D') // EO+4e4c (4)
(R' B2 R' D2 B D2 R2 F) // 12 0c0 2e
(L2 B2 R' L') // Leave U perm??? (16)
+7 optimal 😭

Also had this 10 2c4 4e that I never checked:
R2 B D'
B' R', F2 B R' B R
Mallard only finds 24 on it tho so idrc

Bad

(F' L' B) // 4e4c
F2 U2 R2 U L2 U L // 10 4c4 2e, trash but didn't find any reasonable extensions
U R2 D' (D' B2 U2 R2 U) // HTR (18)
B2 R2 B2 L2 F2 U2 B2 // E (25)
+0/25

Edit: Wrote down (F L' B2 D' R) but sadly never checked it, giving 21

10 mins, in school, no paper, 1 cube lmfao

D (B R U)
(R2 B, L U2 B2 L F2 B2 R F) 4b5 bruh
(R' F2 L D2 L2 U2 L' U2 R' D2 R') HTR
(U2 F2 R2 U2 F2 R2 B2) // fin
Genuinely wtf lmao

U2 B R B' // EO (4)
D L' U2 F2 R' U // 10 4c3 4e, kinda bad
so extend:
L2 D L' U2 F2 R' U' // 11 4a1 2e
D2 L' F2 B2 R' U2 R // HTR (18)
F2 U2 B2 L2 F2 // M (23)
+0/23

Theres a 22 off of the other side of this rzp, but it was 12+10 on 2c4, definitely wouldn't have found it

Backup 24:
B' L' B'
U R', D L2 U D2 R2 U // 12 2c3 2e
F2 D B2 L2 U F2 L2 D F2 R2 // E in 22 through 4b2 4e, pretty cool
+2 bruh

Oh I completely missed the 2+2 eo on ud, giving 21
oh well
Also missed the rzp shift on R' D F2 U, giving some indirect 19

EO skip????
I hard sold this attempt, missed some ez extensions that give sub 20
5 gen solve cuz I'm just like that
(B2 U) U2 B2 R2 U2 B2 D // 8 2c3 4e
L B2 R' B2 U2 D2 L // HTR (15)
U' D' L2 B2 L2 B2 U D // Fin (8-2/21)
Had this very early on
Invested too much of my time into the crap 7 to 4c3 4e, ended up finding this 20 to slice off of it but it doesn't give +0:
(B2 U L D2 R' U2 L)
B2 D' (R2 D2 F2 U' R2 U) // HTR (15)
(B2 D2 L2 F2 B2) // E (20)

And of course I forgot to check the +1 dr extension to 4a1 4e that gives a free 19:
(B2 U R' B2 U2 R' U2 R')
(F2 R2 U) // HTR (11)
(F2 B2 R2 D2 B2 U2 F2 U2)

And of course I found this immediately after the attempt:
(B2 U) U2 B2 R2 U2 B2 D // 8 2c3 4e
(L' D2 B2 R' B2 R' U2 R' L') // E (17)
+2/19
I literally had (L) written down for htr start and never checked a linear continuation until after the attempt like wtf bro are we fr

Also I had this dr: (U' R) R U R2 D2 D R' // 8 2c3 6e which is pretty bad, but setting up to the 2e4c trigger gives an 18

I'm kinda pissed that I didn't find even one of these things, but its good to know to check for extensions like these in the future

22 doesn't feel that good on scram like this
Of course there was the 8 mover, but it looked horrible (although, happens to give 20 which I probably wouldn't have found)
F R F D L' // EO+0c2e??? (5)
(F R2 U2 R2 F) // 10 4c3 2e
U' B2 U F2 U2 L2 U' // HTR (17)
F2 D2 // S (19)
+3/22 bruh really

Okay there is a 20 off of this eo lmao, but its just some stupid 12+8 on R/L that I never would've looked for

F D' R' F       // eofb               (4/4)
(U')            // rzplr-eofb         (1/5)
R' B2 D R D     // drlr-eofb [2c3 2e] (5/10)
(R D2 R D2 L')  // htr-drlr           (5/15)
F2 D2 (D2)      // frud               (3/18)
L2              // fin                (1/19)
Noooo I missed this rzp because when I switched off of the eo I was just checking for ways to solve the premade rzp on UD
I predict like 5-10 people find this 19

Also missed U D' L F, D [21 opt] because I was just focused on solving the 8e7c on that eo

Last second slice find!
(R U' R) // EO (3)
(U') // 4e4c (4)
U2 D2 F B D2 F D // 11 4a1 6e

U2 R2 D2] // S (21)
[]=(B') L2 F' B2 R2 L2 D2 F' R2 D2 L2 // +1/22

L2 [U L2 U' L2 U] // HTR (18)
R2 F2 R2 B2 // E (22)
[]=D F2 U D2 B2 D // +1/23

Similar idea (found this one after the attempt):

(R U' R)
B // 6e4c (4)
F2 D F R2 L2 B' L2 B // 12 2c3 2e
L2 U' F2 U' D2 B2 U' B2 // M (20)
+4/24

Alright what did Mallard find
F B2 L (R')         // eolr               (4/4)
D2 B'               // rzpud-eolr         (2/6)

R2                  // fin                (1/20)

Idrc about missing this I didn't even have this rzp

Edit: Missed (R2 F D' B), (R') somehow (which gives 21)

I love hackery!
Not a particularly good result but still a cool find
Had this dr early on, mostly the reason I was able to find something like this
(F R D B) // EO (4)
(U L2 U L F2 L2 U) // 11 4c3 0e through 4e3c
[L F2 D2 L' D2 L2 F2 L // HTR (19)
F2 R2]// E (21)
Okay so I thought this was +4 at first but theres actually a sneaky way to get +3
[]=E, E' // +3/24
The beauty of 0e DRs!

Backup:
(R') R U B' R // EO (5)
(B2 R2 D F2 B2 R2 D' B') // 13 4a1 4e
F B D2 F B' U // HTR (19)
F2 R2 F2 D2 R2 // E (24)
+2 fahhhh

(R' U D' F) // EO (4)
Switched here cuz didn't have many four movers on this scramble
U' R2 F2 L U2 L' U' // 11 2c3 4e
B2 L' F2 B2 D2 L B2 L // HTR (19)
F2 U2 R2 B2 // Slice (23)
+1/24 meh

Something funny I got from Mallard off of this dr:
(F2 L) B2 R2 D2 L' B2 U2 R // HTR (19)
B2 // S (20)

Okay here's a 19 Mallard found on one of the 4 movers, except I'll make it make sense:
(U D) // premove abuse (2)
U2 D' R B // EO
D R' L D // 10 4a2 4e
[L F2 L2 U2 L'] // HTR (15)
U D' B2 R2 U D' // M (18)
[]= R2 L' B2 R2 U2 L // +1/19

Final: U2 D' R B D R' L D R2 L' B2 R2 U2 L' U D' B2 R2 D2 (19)

Backup:
R B D B L
F', (D2 B' R2 L2 F D2 F) // 13 4b2 2e
B2 D2 B2 D' F2 U' // HTR (19)
F2 L2 B2 U2 R2 // Slice 24
+2 I think, I tried forcing some double slice stuff here, seeing as this can just be rewritten as:
R B D B L
F B2 D2 B2 D' F2 U // 12 4a1 2e

I had no sub 11 drs on this scram, my 11 movers (other than the one submitted) were 11+2c4 and 11+4c3

B' L' (F' U L) // EO+4e4c (5)
B L2 F' U // 9 4b2 2e wow!
B' (U2 R2 B2 U2 F) // HTR (15)
(R2 U' D' F2 U D) // S (21)
+1/22

So this dr is 21 optimal through some goofy 4q path, so I'm pretty happy with 22

I looked at this extension as well:
F2 B' R2 F' D // +1 ext

Eyyy 22, 22, 22 = 22.00 league PR mo3!

F' L' F D' R // EO (5)
U' D // 2e3c (7)
(B2 L2 B' U' B U) // 13 4a1 4e
(R2 U2 L2 B) // HTR (17)
(R2 U2 L2) // 20 lmao

This was my dr originally, but once I realized it was 4a1 I figured it might be 4a1 on the other side of the rzp as well:
F' L' F D' R' // EO (5)
U' D // 2e3c (7)
F B2 D' B' D // 12 4a1 4e

Backup 23:
R' U' L' F' D // EO (5)
L // 2e3c (6)
(F' D2 R F R') // 11 4b2 2e
U2 R2 U2 F2 R2 F D2 B' // HTR (19)
L2 D2 F2 // S (22)
+1/23

(F U) R' L U // EO+4e4c (5)
(F B' U2 R2 L2 F L) // 12 2c3 2e

Had some other drs but they were pretty mid

So mid
L B' F2 R' F' // EO+4e4c (5)
U' D2 F2 U B2 L // 11 4a1 2e
D2 B2 U' (U2 B2 U' R2 L2 D') // HTR (20)
(R' L D2 R' L') // 25
The dr looked blocky but it seems as though +14 was the best I could get
+14 is also the best I can get from Mallard. Insane.

Next best thing I had was this:
B2 L' F D' R // EO+4e4c (5)
(D2 B2 D2 R2 F2 U' F') // 12 4b2 2e
Optimal off of this DR seems to be 25 as well

Also had this
L B' L U F
D L U' B2 U' F2 U L // 13 4a1 4e

Edit: missed an 8 move dr on the 3 mover, I think I had the rzp but ignored it cuz I was tryna force 4e4c, not 6e4c
oh well

Found at 50 mins in
L' (D' B R') // EO (4)
(D F) // 2e3c (6)
(U L2 D F' D' F') // 12 4a1 4e
(D) // HTR lmao (13)
(F2 U2 F2 U2 R2 F2 D2 L2 F2) // 22, a bit of a sad finish but I'll take it

Missed this goofy dr: (L2 U R2 D F L2 F D) // 12 4a1 4e

Other:
B2 R U2 L'
B U D' F L2 U2 F // 11 2c3 4 var
I briefly checked this it's pretty mid

Didn't find anything too good off of the 3 movers during the attempt, but Mallard finds this 19 off of one of them:
L F2 R
F' B U'
(U2 F B' U2 L2 D') // 12 4b2 2e
B U2 F' // HTR (15)
D2 F2 L2 U2 // 19

Wouldn't have found this 19 but seems like I missed D' B rzp, which gives a very finable 21

(L') F B2 L' // EO (4)
(B) // 4e4c (5)
(F2 R2 D R2 U' F) // 11 2c3 2e
B2 U R2 D' F2 U // HTR (17)
D2 F B U2 F' B' // 6-1/22
I tried shortening HTR plus that D2 since it can be rewritten as 21 to slice, but it seems as though +1 is optimal here.

Didn't have much else here.
B' D' F' L'
B' L2 U' B' D' B // 10 4c3 2e

This would've been a nice backup (found after the attempt)
B' D' F' L'
B' U D B' U B' U' B // 12 4b2 2e
U2 F2 D' R2 U // HTR (17)
L2 B2 R2 U2 R2 L2 F2 // 24

Had some other dr's but they were pretty bad.

PB!!!!!!!!!! (previous pb was 19)
Holy crap everything was so stressful after finding the 6 mover
Had the slice skeleton in maybe 30 mins? Found the 18 at about 15 mins left
also U D for EO is kinda crazy
I'm sure there was some stupid 16 or 17 of of this

Edit: There was a 17 off of the 6 mover, nice find Baiqiang! I didn't think to reduce to 0c0 2e... but not mad at all since it seemed hard to find.

U' D // EO+4e4c (2)
(L' U2 R' B') // 6 4b2 4e?????
(R^' D2 L') // 0c0 4e
(F2 R' F2 B2 L^') // HTR (14)
(U2 D2 L2 D2 B2) // M (19)
^=w for +0/19 but wait...
[U' D B2 D2 L2 U2 D2] Lw F2 B2 R F2 L D2 Rw B R U2 L
[]=D2 B2 U2 L2 U' D' // -1/18!

So after the attempt I found out that setting up to the 2 qt is actually pretty easy, found these off of it:
U D' // EO+4e4c (2)
(L' U2 R' B') // 6 4b2 4e
(U2 B2 D2 R B2 U2 R') // HTR (13)
(F2 U2 F2) // Slice in 16?????
Thank god its +2, otherwise I would've been really pissed for missing that

U' D // EO+4e4c (2)
(L' U2 R' B') // 6 4b2 4e
(U2 B2 U2 R U2 B2 R) // HTR (13)
(U2 B2 U2 R2) // M (17)
Also +2

Okay let's see what Mallard finds on this juicer...
Okay the best it finds for me is 18, so I don't think I missed anything too obvious. We'll see, but regardless I'm super happy to get this result!!!

R L' U' R' B' // EO+square (5)
D' // 2e2c (6)
(R U' B2 U' L2 D') // 12 4b2 2e 8 var
(L2 B2 U2 R D2 [L) // HTR (18)
(U2 B2 D2 B2]) // Slice (22)
[]=(R B2 D2 F2 D2 R' L) // +2/24 :(

Backup 25:
(F' R2 D' F) // EO (4)
(R L' U) // 2e3c (7)
U' R2 L' U R2 U // 13 4b2 2e with cool trigger
B2 U2 L' F2 L // HTR (18)
F2 L2 U D' R2 B2 R2 U D' // 9-2/25

Other:

R2 F2 L' U B' // EO+4e4c (5)
U2 R' U2 R2 B2 R2 D // 12 4c3 2e 8 var

(U R2 F)
R D L' F2 D' L' F2 L U2 L // 13 2c3 4e 8 var

Oh my god I had so many 24s on this scram
Okay 22 first:

(R D L U F) // EO (5)
(U2 R' B2 D L) // 10 2c4 4e
(U) // 4c3 (yes, this is how I found it)
L2 D' // 4b2 2e
(F2 U' L2 U) // HTR (17)
(B2 R2 U2 F2 L2) // E
+0/22

Okay here come the 24s
R L U F // EO (4)
D // 2e4c (5)
(B2 L B2 R' U F2 U') // 12 2c3 2e
(F2 R2 U2 R' F2 R F2 R') // HTR (20)

F L D' F // EO (4)
R' // 2e2c (5)
(U2 R2 L' U L2 D' L) // 12 2c3 4e
(D' R2 B2 U' R2 L2 B2 D) // HTR with cool extension (20)
(B2 L2 B2) // Slice (23)
+1/24

F (R L U' B) // EO+8e7c (5)
U (L' B2 L2 D') // 10 2c4 4e 2 var
(B2 R U2 B2 L' D2 L D2 L) // HTR (19)

+1/24

+2/24

(D2 R' D2 U R U) // 11 2c5 2e
(L D2 R F2 D2 L F2 L' U2 R') // HTR (21)
(B2 L2 B2) // 24

Honorable mention:
F (U' R2 L B) // EO+4e4c (5)
L2 F2 R L' D R L // dr with cool trigger, 12 4b5 2e lmao

No 18 for me :( but I do get 22.33 pb mo3!

D F' B2 U' // EO (4)
(F' R) // 2e3c (6)
B' D2 F2 R B' R' // 12 4b2 2e
U2 F R2 F' // HTR (16)
D2 R2 F2 R2 D2 R2 D2 // 23

nah thats a little boring...

U2 F R2 F // HTR (16)
R' L D2 R' L' F2 D2 // 23 okay thats a little more like it

Edit: There's a pretty simple way to slice this down to a 21 that I didn't find:
U2 F' B2 L2 F' // HTR (17)
R' L' U2 B2 R L' // 6-2/21
Oh well... next time then

(L2 F L' D B) // EO+2e2c (5)
D R D2 L' D // 10 4b2 4e
L U2 D2 R' U2 D2 L D2 L^' D2 $ // Slice (20)
Best I could find was +2, absurd on 4q but makes sense cuz of U2 D2 spam:
^=w
$=M
+2/22

Unfortunately missed the 20 off of this dr: L B2 L B2 U2 F2 L D2 L' U2

A much more free, simple 22 that I had early on in the attempt:

(L2 F' L' D B') // EO+2e3c wow! (5)
(F2 R D' R' D') // 10 4b2 4e
(U2 R B2 D2 L') // HTR (15)
(U2 F2 D2 L2 F2 D2 L2) // 22
I actually thought that this was a 23 when I wrote it down cuz I forgot that (D U2 D2) is two moves
Another interesting +12:
(U2 L' D2 F2 L2 F2 D2 L') // HTR (18)
(D2 L2 B2 U2) // 22

Backup 23:

B' L R2 U R // EO+4e4c (5)
(L2 B' U2 F' B D) // 11 4b2 4e
L2 B L2 B' // HTR (15)
L2 D2 F2 D2 F2 R2 D2 L2 // 23

Weird dr find:
(D' B' L' F) // EO (4)
U2 B2 U // 2e4c
(R D' R2 D) // 11 4b2 2e

Also holy blocky eo:
D L B' D R

Premade square is wild, I wonder what Doug Li would get on this

This solution is almost exactly like the 19 from last season's W9A1, except the dr is 3 moves longer:
Reduction to 2e4c
4a1 2e
6 move htr
3 move 3 gen finish

13+9 holy Kalindu

D' (D2 L B U') // EO (5)
(R) // 2e4c (6)
(F2 R2 F' B2 R F2 R) // 13 4a1 2e
(F D2 B U2 D2 F) // HTR (19)
(L2 D2 F2) // 22 lol

There's also this 22 to slice:
D (D2 L B U') // EO (5)
(R') // 2e4c (6)
L2 F2 B' L' B2 L' // 12 4a1 4e
B2 L2 D2 R2 F // HTR (17)
U2 B2 R2 D2 L2

And this:
D (D2 L B U') // EO (5)
(R) // 2e4c (6)
L2 F2 B' R L2 D2 R // ext to 13 4a1 4e
L2 F // HTR (15)
U2 L2 U2 L2 U2 B2 L2

Backups:
(R2 B L' F') // EO+222???
R2 D // 2e2c
R2 U' R U2 L' U' // 12 2c3 4e
(B2 U2 R F2 R' U2 R) // HTR (19)
(B2 R2 F2 R2 D2) // 24

(B L' F) // EO (3)
R2 D // 2e2c
R2 U' R U2 L' U' // 11 2c3 4e (blocky)
B2 L (D2 L B2 L') // HTR (17)
(U2 B2) // 2e2e (19)

Also had this 9 mover:
D' (L B U') // EO (5)
(R) // 2e3c
F' L B L // 9 2c4 4e
Didn't find anything that good off of this

What a funny 23
(U' B' R' U2 F) // EO (5)
(L' D) // 4e0c
R L D' R2 L2 U' // 13 4b2 4e

but...

Flip dr:

(U' B' R' U2 F) // EO (5)
R L (L' D R' B2 U2 L) // 13 0c4 ew
rewrite dr for better case:

(U' B' R' U2 F) // EO (5)
R L (L' D B2 L2 D2 R U2 B2 R) // 16 0c0 4e :skull:
(D F2 B2 U) // HTR (20)
(R' L' D2 R L) // Slice (5-4/21)
htr rewrite:
(D B2 U' D R2 D) // +2/23

Didnt have time to check the 4 movers on U/D :/
+14 on 4c3 0e is kinda crazy icl
(L' B2 U) // EO (3)
R' F' B // 4e4c
U2 L U2 R' B' // 11 4c3 0e
R' U2 F2 R (F2 U2 L') // HTR (18)
B2 L2 U' D L2 U' D' // 25 erm okay

This is the most chaotic 23 I've ever gotten
F' L B // EO (3)
(R' L2 U B2 D2 B2 D2 L') // 11 2c4 0e
B' D' F U2 F' D B' // dr-breaking trigger to htr (7-2/16)
U2 L2 U' D // 2e2e (20)

Skel:
F' L D' F U2 F' D B' U2 L2 U' D [L D2 B2] D2 B2 U' R L2
[]=R2 L' U2 F2 R2 L2 // +3/23 noice, tons of +4s

Also had the obvious 9 mover:
F' L B
(R' D2 F2 D' F2 L) // 9 4c4 4e
Best I could find was this 25 to slice:
B2 U (L2 U B2 U) B2 L2 F2 B2 U // HTR (11-2/18)
F2 U2 F2 L2 F2 L2 F2

Not bad though, best I could get out of Mallard was this +15:
(. . . L') // 9 4c4 4e
(U L2 F2 D L2 D2 F2 D' B2 U')
(L2 F2 R2 B2 L2)

Free 23 after rzp imo, others will prob find this
Also I believe this is my first time solving 2c4 6e
D2 R' B // EO (3)
U' L // 4e4c
R2 U2 B2 R2 D' R' // 11 2c4 6e

Found after:

First time solving 8e7c!
(L' U2 D R) // EO+8e7c

^=w
+0/24 noice

edit: BRO THIS DR GIVES THE MOST FREE 21 WITH 2Q AND I DIDNT FIND IT BROOOO
I'm actually so pissed I didn't find the continuation, its linear and is just two move setup to 4b2 4e trigger

Other:
U B' D' F

Lowest move count dr that I found was this 10 4b5, I didn't check it (cuz 4b5) but it gives a 22???
D' R F L2 U
F' L2 F D2 L
B R2 F (F' R2 F' U2 B')

After attempt I also found this

+2 bruh

Here's a 25 to slice off of a different eo:
(F' D B2 R B) // EO+4e4c (5)
(F2 R2 D2 R2 D B2 L) // 12 4b2 4e
U2 F2 U' L2 B2 U' // HTR (18)
B2 U2 L2 B2 L2 U2 F2

Found with 2 mins left phew
L2 U' F U // EO (4)

B2 R2 D2 B' L U2 L // 12 4b2 2e
(F2 D2 F2 R2 B' D2 F') // HTR (19)

(L2 F2 L2 F2 L F2 L) // HTR (19)

Didn't write down (L) R' F2 L rip

(R D2 B' D) // EO (4)
(F' R') // 4e4c (6)

*=U2 D2 F2 U2 D2 B2 // 6-1/23
Also this
(B U2 R2 F') // HTR (17)
(U2) // 4x lol (18)
Best I could find off this was 23:
[]=U2 D2 B2 U2 L2 U2 D2 L // +5/23

Also had 23 to slice off of the 8 move dr:
R' F' B' R // EO (4)
F2 U2 D' B' // 8 4c3 2e
U2 F2 D (D2 F2 U F2 R2 U) // HTR (17)
R2 U2 B2 R2 B2 L2

Funny dr I had early on:
(R2 F D B' L) // EO (5)
(F B) // 2e4c
(D2 F' U2 F) // 11 4a1 0e 4 var

Edit: forgot to switch for jzp (gave 18 rip)

Found at around 50 mins in

Pretty straightforward solution.

After eo, I also had (F2 D' F' U F2 D' F') // Blocky 11 2c3 2e but I didn't find the +12....
(D) F2 U R2 B2 U' // HTR (that I prob wouldnt have looked at) (17)
