AAAAAAAA what's wrong with me????
missed the easiest 18 
I think I'm going to be on hiatus soon 

(F' L B2 D')
(B', L R2 U2 F' R F') // 11 2c3 4e, +1 ext of 10 + shit
(D2 R U2 R' Rw2 D2 R D2 B2 U2 D2 Rw2) // 22 LS, +1

there is another 22 LS I found from this DR, pretty sure it was also 23 opt

first time using a markdown editor for an entire attempt
BAD start

D F B L' 
F D, {B' U2 F' B U} // 11 + 1

{F' L2 B2 L2 B2 U'} // 12 + 1, +1 ext
D2 B'
U2 F2 D2 R2 D2 F2 D2 // 21 LS, +2 😑

way too focused on the 4a1, I bet it's not even opt
edit: I think this is the best I could do

literally ~5 mins after the attempt, I found this out of my unfinished DRs

(B' U' D R) 
(U, B' D2 F' U2 F2 U) // 11 2c3 4e, 4 vars
L2 B' (B' R2 L2 D2 F') // extended HTR (18)
(D2) // slice (19) WTF

+1 

(U' D R F')
(D L2 F2 D R' D) // 10 2c3 4e, ext of 9 4c3
F2 L F2 B2 D2 L D2 L 
R2 F2 U2 D2 // 22-1, can't reduce to 20

opt

random shitty solve

(F2 B2 U)
(B, R' D2 R2 F' L2 F) // 10 4c3, 2 vars
R (U2 D2 L' U2 B2 L) // extended HTR (17)
(F2 L2 F2 B2 U2) // 22

21 20 21 21 22 = 21.00 ao5 (If I don't misremember)

jumpscare 21 slice foudd at 8 mins left

R U L2 D'
(B' L2 U2 R2 B R') // 10 4b2 4e, 4 vars
(B D2 B' U2 F' D2 L2 F)
(L2 F2 L2) // 21 (slice), +0

my gut says there's smth better, but whatever the sol's really cool 

nice 20.67 rolling also!

R F' D L
(F L2 U2 F) // 8 2c4, 4 vars
U' (R2 U' R2 U2 B2 U' L2 U2 R2 U') 
// extended HTR thru 4c3 (19)
(R2 F2) // slice (21)

+0

there we go, missed ez 20 from not continuing HTR on inv

this was a fun one

U2 B R L // EO, DR-4c8e
(U' L2 F' R2 L2 F) // 10 4c4, nice vars on both sides

I ended up using this var

U2 B R L
(U' L2 B' U2 D2 B) // 10 4c4
U L2 U // 4b2 2e
(R2 D' F2 B2 L2 U) // HTR, +2 ext (19)
(B2 U2 L2) // 22 LOL

a bit easier than I expected tbh, may be because I'm lucky

L F2 R 
D' B D2 F U' F' // 9 2c3 4e
B2 U (U' L2 U') 
(L2 B2 U2 R2 F2 D2 R2) // 21

EZ quick backup slice
(B D) B2 D'
B L2 B' L2 F' L' // 10 2c3 2e
F2 D2 F' D2 F' D2 F' 
L2 D2 L2 U2 B2 // slice (22)

+0

oh no I had this

B' D' F' L' 
B' R2 D' F' U' F // 10 4c3, 21 opt

R (F2 R)
B' D' (B2 D2 F R2 U) // good vibe 10 4c3
B' (R2 F L2 F') 
(R2 L2 U2 L2 F2 R2) // slice (21), VR
+1

(L D2 B' D) 
D2 F2 L' F2 U2 B // 10+1, one of a handful exts of 9+1
D2 L' // HTR (12) LOL
F2 U2 F2 R2 U2 B2 L2 B2 // 20

I somehow missed 18 to E +3 from the base 9+1 LOL, found some 22 backup LS off some other DR tho

a bunch of short bad subset DRs

D' (L B U')
(R') F' L B L // 9 2c4
F' L2 F (D2 F L2 F')
(R2 U2 D2 R2 B2 D2) // cool 6 move finish

how tf I missed this JZP

(B' L' F)                     // eofb      (3/3)
(L' U')                       // arud-eofb (2/5)
U2 F2 R2 U B2 U               // drlr-eofb (6/11)
B2 R' U2 F2 U2 B2 U2 R D2 R2  

this saved my sub 23 streak (still a streak of mid solves)

(B2 L' U')
(L2 F' D2 B U2 L) // 9 4b2 4e, 2 vars
(F2 D2 F' R2 D2 B')
(L2 R2 B2 R2 D2) // slice (20)

+1

nah, my performance is not so good today haha

R2 D2 R' B 
L (D' L2 D L) // 9 2c4
Uw F2 L2 Uw F2 Uw' L2 B2 Dw
F2 R2 B2 L2 Uw2 // 23 LS, +0


ah fuck the next min I found a 21
from my good vibe 10 4c3 that 

"I left out and it's too late cuz other seemingly good DRs scammed me ahh moment"

R2 D2 R' B // 
L (L D R F2 R) 
(U' F2 U R2 D2 B2 D) 
(U2 B2 R2 B2) // 21, from 20 slice


I only tried the L U2 L ending some linear HTRs w/ good shape and laft it out, I should've continued 


I feel like I have to use vibes more

nah

(B2 L) D2 L
U R2 F D' B // 9 2c3 4e

+15 🫠


there is this quite ez +13 for a 22
R2 D2 L2 D F2 D' B2 U' 
L2 B2 L2 U2 R2

Just In Time

(L') L' U2 R 
(U' R2 B' D B' D)  // 10 2c3 4e, 2 vars
(F' U2 L2 F' R2 F')
(D2 F2 L2) // slice (19)

+1

R' F' B' R 
F2 U2 D' B // 8 4c3
(F2 R2 D R2 D') F2 R2 U2 L2 D' // extended HTR (18)
B2 U2 R2 // 21 LOL

Why I missed the 18 DR🙃🙃

(D F' L B) 
(D) R2 L U R2 B2 D // 11 2c3 4e, 4 vars
(F2 R) U2 B2 L2 U2 R F2 D2 R'
D2 F2 B2 R2 // 25-1

I wonder how pros handle this type of scramle

turns out I missed ez 23 from this 

counting error


I thought I had a backup 23 but its actually 24 bruh

I also have other backup 23 that was actually a 23

but its bad anyway 

omg missed 22 that I counted as 23 backup (yes, another backup that's I miscounted)

(D F U' L)
(B2 D' R2 D L2 F2 D') // 11 2c3 2e
(B R2 B' R2 B)
(L2 U2 F2 U2 B2 L2) // 22


moral of the story:

write down all of your backup fully!!!!

shit scramble 

(R' D L F' U)
(B U2 D2 B' D2 L) // blocky 11 2c4
L2 R2 F D2 B' D2 B' R2 B2 R2 F
R2 // 23 WTF

backup 24:

U2 D' R F' L'
D (D2 F' L2 F U) // 11 4b2 6e
(B2 U2 L2 F' R2 B')
(F2 R2 F2 D2 R2 D2 L2) // 24

U B2 D B
L D F2 U2 L B2 L // 11 2c4, but look at the blocks It's too beautiful I just can't 
U F2 L2 D F2 U' F2 D B2 D2 B2 // ofc 22 LS +0 will pop out of nowhere

It's a 21 flat LOL mean atp

1 DRs checked, first three HTRs I checked, free 21 LS
what a jackpot

(U F' U) 
(R) B R' // what is 6+5?, not in my FMC dictionary LOL

45 mins left let's forgot everything and safety smth like a 22 now

F' D2 L2 B' U2 F D2 F' D2 F 
R2 F2 L2 D2 B2 // slice (21), found at literally 20 and a bit mins in

+0 


oops, there's a 20 from this

LOL

(B D L B2 R)
(B) U L2 B // 9 2c3 4e
(R2 U B2 U' R2 U')
(F2 D2 F2 R2) // slice (19)

+1

F R D B                
L' D B2 U' F2 L // 10 2c3 4e        
(L2 U) U L2 U'      
R L U2 R' L D2 L2 // 22, cool finish 

you can also change the first move of EO to F' and apparently preserved DR and with the same subset, wow

hell nah, gonna accept the 22.33 
tried to approach this mean with a 'safety' mindset to not DNF

U D' (B D)
(L2 U2 L B2 D2 L' F) // 11 4a2 4e
(D2 L F2 R2 F2 U2 L)
(D2 F2 U2 F2 R2 F2) // 24 LS, miraculously +0

(L2 F' U' L D)
(B D2 R' B2 L' F') // 11 4b2 4e
(L) F2 R
D2 R2 D2 F2 D2 // slice (19) WTF

+2 sad

(B R2 U') 
(L2 F B L' F L) // 9 4b2 2e
(R2 F) U2 L2 D2 L2 B
R2 B2 U2 B2 L2 // 21

only checked 9 movers that stemmed from this 3 move RZP cuz lazy (the scram is SOO JUICED)

pure luck find LOL

R B' U D2 F'
(L2 B2 L' U' R2 U) // 11 2c4, 2 vars
R' B2 L' U2 L F2 L U2 B2 U2 F2 // 22 LS +0 

have other DRs like this

U D (L2 D) 
L (R2 L2 F' U2 L') // 10 4b2 2e
D2 B (D2 F') 
(L2 B2 U2 R2 F2 U2 L2) // 21

fun solve with a lot of NISS involved
