(F) U B' // EO
L (U D2 [R B2 L]) // DR
U // Reduce to 1q
[] = (L' D2 R' L' F2 L') // Force short HTR
(U) // HTR
(R2 U R2 B2 F2 L2 D) // Solved in 21 (but also 19 to slice solved in +2 rip)
Had another 19 to slice from this DR that was less deranged but that also didn't +0 or +1 and I found this first :P
Definitely feel like there's at least a 20 lurking on this start but maybe not
EDIT: there's a 20 but only one possible and it needs 4q so idc about missing that

Found (U B) L B' L U' B U' B which would normally be a safe 20-22, instead the only 22's on this DR are either 5q or cursed NISS 3q paths :)))
Also got heavily distracted during the attempt to the point where I'm considering relocating!!! FMC is fun!!!

I found no viable sub 12/11 DR's so had to settle with this smh

There was a LOT to check from this start given the nice HTR subset along with a very easy to manipulate EO
I found this cool HTR for example:
B' L R2 F B D2 B' , L (R F2 R' U2 L U , R)
Also had two different 9+4's along with a 10+2c3 and 10+2c4 but didn't find much there

Found this other DR but too late to use it :/

DR start is 21 optimal so this shows that my recent 6+ week break did a lot of damage to my skill XD (none of the 4 total 21's seem easy to find TBH but with that many 21's it's unlikely that 22 isn't findable for a human here)
