(D, L2 F2 L' F2 L' F2 R D) // 13+2b4e, but it looked insanely blocky
U2 {R F2 D2 R} D2 B2 D2 F2 R2 B2// LS (24)
={R' L2 B2 U2 L2 R'} (+2) //26
Very very bad time management during the attempt, i had couple of DR's that looked promissing but nothing good appeared.

Emergency 29 since I found 22 to slice on 45 min mark but then for some reason it stopped working and right at the end I needed to write down something, inserting 3e at the end of the skeleton without cancelling any moves, just to have the solution on time lol.
D2 L2 U F B //eo
(R' U2 L' U2 R2 D) //DR 11+4b2 2e (it had 8 different variants)
D2 R2 U2 R' U2 R' //HTR
(F2 B2 U2 F2 R2 F2 U' D R2 U D' F2)// finish xd (29)
This attempt could've been really really good but some unfortunate situations happened. I am however still happy about what i found.

There is however a very easy 11 move finish from the same DR which I found a little after one hour past, which would've gave me 23 instead but that's okay.
Getting a 24 from slice in 22 is pretty unfortunate anyways :/.
