R' D B' // EO (3)
(L), F2 U' D B2 U' L // DR 2c3 2e (10)
D R2 U' R2 F2 U' // HTR (16)
F2 L2 B2 // leave slice (19)
+2 slice (21)

B2 L2 U L2 U2 B2 U' // HTR (18)
F2 D2 R' L D2 R' L' // finish (25-1/24)

there is a 20 on U' L U B' D', guess i need to work on finding all variations of U' B L U D :/

F2 R' U2 F // EO (4)
L D' B2 D' L D' // DR 4b2 2e (10)
(L2 F2 R B2 R2 U2 D2 L) // HTR (18)
(B2 L2 U2 F2) // leave slice (22)
+1 slice (23)

why

(F2 U), L' F R, B' R F2 B2 L // 10 4b2 4e, 22 opt
F2 R' U2 F, L D2 L D // 8 4c4, 23 opt (+15 🥶)
F2 R' U2 F, D2 L D2 L D // 9 2c4, 23 opt
F2 R' U2 F', R, (F2 U2 L' D2 L) // 11 4b2 4e, 23 opt

(R' U2 B D' L') // EO (5)
(R2 F B2 L2 D') // extended DR 2c3 4e (10)
B (L2 B' D2 B') // HTR (15)
(L2 D2 R2 B2 D2) // leave slice (20)
+1 slice (21)

found this pretty early and felt like there was a 20 on this DR but there wasnt. there is a way to get 21 without extending the DR too:

L2 F' U2 B' D2 F // HTR (15)
D2 L2 D2 L2 F2 U2 // leave E slice (21-1/20)
+1 slice (21)

all my DRs were bad

(R) L' U R, (D' B), U2 R2 F U2 F // 11 2c3 4e w/ HTR in 16, 23 opt
B L R2 F' R', B, (U' B' U' B) // 10 4c4, 24 opt
(B' L F' R, U F' B' D F' U' F) // 10 2c4, 24 opt

jfc i missed +5 to DR on (R') L' U R, F B, (L2 D B D B) // 11 2c3 2e with 21 opt

F' U2 L // EO (3)
(B D'), B2 R2 U2 F2 U // DR 2c3 4e (10)
(F D2 L2 B' R2 B') // HTR (16)
(R2 B2 R2 D2 R2 B2) // leave slice (22)
+0 slice (22)

variation hell

bruh there was an easy 21 on one of my DRs but i didn't have time to check the DR thoroughly:

D2 B' F U, F, R2 B2 R' F' // 9 2c4
(F2 R) R F2 R' U2 R // HTR (16)
U2 F2 B2 R2 B2 // leave slice (21)
+0 slice (21)

(D2 R B D L) // EO (5)
(D' F) // ARM, DRM 3c2e (7)
U B U B // DR 4a1 4e (11)
U (U' F2 L2 B2 D') // HTR (17)
(R2 F2 B2) // leave slice (20)
+2 slice (22)

i got my hopes up after seeing the two HTRs in 14, but DR is 22 opt

not sure why i missed the 11 0c0 4e, at least it yielded the same result as my silly DR

only reasonable DR i had was (F' L R' B' R, U2 R2 D' F' U2 B) // 11 2c4, which was shit

really cool DR that has a 21:
F U' B' F2 D // EO that is almost 1 move to DR on both axes
L R2 F // DR-2e on both axes
F' B // DRM 8c8e, but also ARM
(F B) // DR 0c4 (10)

L2 F' U L // EO (4)
D, L2 F2 D2 B' D // 10 4a2 2e
(L2 B) D' U' F2 L2 U' D F' // HTR (17)
B2 L R' F2 L R' // finish (23)

needed like 1 more min to find this rip

so many good DRs and still DNF, also somehow missed (D' B), D, etc

L2 F' U L // EO (4)
D, L2 F2 D2 B' D // 10 4a2 2e
(L2 B) D' U' F2 L2 U' D F' // HTR (17)
B2 L R' F2 L R' // finish (23)

needed like 1 more min to find this rip

so many good DRs and still DNF, also somehow missed (D' B), D, etc

(F' B' L2 D') // EO (4)
D2 B2 R' B' // DR 2c3 4e (8)
D2 R F2 R' U2 R' // HTR (14)
(B2 D2 B2 R2 B2) // leave slice (19)
+1 slice (20)

B2 R' (D B2 R') // EO (5)
(D2 L2 B' U' F') // DR 4c3 (10)
(U' R2 U') D2 L2 D' // HTR (16)
F2 R2 B2 R2 F2 U2 F2 // finish (23)

i didnt check the 11 2c3 4e bc i wrote down because i thought it was a 12 move DR...

dumb mistakes on every solve this week

D R F' B // EO (4)
L', (D' R2 F2 D R') // DR 2c4 (10)
U F2 [U' L2 U (B2 R2 L2 D') // HTR (19)
(B2 [U2 D2 L2 F2 B2) // solve with suboptimal slice (25)
[] = U D2 R2 U F2 B2 R2 // (-1/24)

+1 optimal off DR again, didn't have time to check the mirrored path that gives a 23

edit: bruh i missed (D) F' R' D EO+JZP, im crashing out
i also found a variation of fanti's 21 but didn't write it down bc it was 2e and the DR was long 😭

B' D2 L' B // EO (4)
D L D R // DR 4a2 4e (8)
B2 D2 L2 D' (F2 L2 U2 R2 U) // HTR (17)
(F2 L2 U2 B2 R2) // finish (22)

how did i miss 21 on this DR smh

(D' F) U R' B // EO (5)
(R F2 R D2 R D') // DR 2c4 (11)
R U2 L U2 R' F2 R // HTR (18)
F2 R2 F2 B2 D2 B2 // finish (24)
+0 slice

bad mean

R (F R) // EO (3)
F' (F', B2 L2 D' B) // DR 2c4 (9)
D R2 U' (L2 D R2 D') // HTR (16)
(L2 U2 L2 B2 L2) // finish (21)

also had this on the same DR:
D R2 U L2 B2 D R2 D' // HTR (17)
L2 // leave M slice (18)

while rNISSing, i noticed i could make the following DR:
R F' (F R F') // moves from original DR (5)
D R2 U L2 B2 D R2 // moves from original HTR (12)
wait, we are 3 moves away from DR
D R2 F // DR 4a1 4e (15)
D2 L2 D' R2 F2 // leave slice (20), 23 opt

(F' U R' D B) // EO (5)
(U), U2 R' L' D2 L D // DR 0c0 6e (12)
R (D2 F2 D2 B2 L) // HTR (18)
(R2 B F' R2 B' F U2) // finish (25)

safety finish

i had U L B F' D', (R), B2 D2 L' D2 L // DR 4b2 4e (11), but i managed not to find the finish despite mainly checking 4qt:
(R') ... L' // DR (11)
F R2 F' // reduce/begin 2c3 2e trigger (14), for some reason i didnt write anything after this
R2 B' R2 L2 U2 F // HTR extension (20)
R2 D2 // finish (22)

extremely frustrating way to start this week

U2 B' L // EO (3)
(D B', L2 F D' F) // DR 4a1 2e (10)
[U ([D2 F2 L2 D F2 D) // HTR (17)
(F2 R2 F2 D2) // finish with +1 slice (21)
[] = U' B2 L2 B2 D' B2 D' R2 B2 U2 // (-1/20)

20.67 mean fail

B2 U R U // EO (4)
L', D2 F' B2 L D2 L // DR 4a1 2e (11)
(D2 F) U2 D2 F U2 D2 L2 B // HTR (20)
U2 L2 D2 // finish (23)
always seem to do poorly on sprint scrambles :/

started checking this DR super late + variation hell, so i missed the 20 ugh

L U' R F B // EO (5)
U, L' R2 D' B2 U' // DR 4b2 2e (11)
R' F2 R // HTR (14)
B2 U2 F2 D2 R2 F2 R2 U2 // finish (22)

(F' D' L F) // EO (4)
R' L' B2 R U' // DR 4b2 4e (9)
B2 [L' B2 U2 F2 B2 L // HTR (16)
D2 B2 L2] D2 B2 // leave slice (21)
[] = R L2 D2 B2 U2 D2 R U2 F2 R2 // +1 slice (22)

missed 21 on this DR smh

(D2 B' R D') // EO (4)
L' U2 L' B U2 B // DR 4b2 2e (10)
F2 D2 R' D2 R // HTR (15)
B2 U2 F2 L2 D2 L2 // finish (21)

U' R' U' F // EO (4)
D, F2 R2 L' D2 R' D // DR 4b2 2e (11)
(U2 R D2 R) // HTR (15)
D' U' F2 R2 F2 R2 U D // finish (23-2/21)

really bad attempt quality wise (wrote 2 sections of EO incorrectly, very disorganized RZP checking), but happy i didnt miss this solution

finish found on normal bc i had the other variation written down initially

(F2 D' F R F) // EO (5)
(R'), {R2 D2 B2 R' F2 R} // DR 4a2 4e (12)
U' (F2 D2 F2 L2 D') // HTR (19)
case looks good for double slice, so now let's get to HTR purely on inverse
(F2 D2 F2 L2 [D' R2 D2 B2 D']) // HTR, leave M+E slice (21)
[] = (D B2 U' D' B2 U) // E slice (+1/22)
{} = L2 U2 F2 R L2 F2 R' L2 // M slice (+2/24)

what am i doing

insane bait scramble, sad i missed +7 to DR on F2 R2 F R, which gives a free 21

(U2 L') R' B R // EO (5)
B, R2 D B D B // DR 4b2 2e (11)
R2 U' R2 [D2 F2 B2 U] // HTR (18)
B2 R2 B2 R2 // leave slice (22)
[] = U D R2 L2 D // +1 slice (23)

i had (R2 L2 D R B, R L, D R2 U) // 10 2c4, which i decided not to check much, thankfully it is 23 opt

B (B' D' R B) // EO (5)
(L D2 L U L D') // DR 4b2 2e (11)
F2 R2 U2 B2 R' U2 R' // HTR (17)
D2 R2 D2 R2 // finish (22)

missed a 21 with 4qt from this DR:
U' D B', U R2 U' R U' L // 4b2 4e (9)

also missed a 21 from an extension of that DR, of which i had the HTR but thought it was 22 to slice 🥶:
U' D B', U' D2 L2 U' L U' R' // 4b2 4e (10)
D' (U2 L2 F2 B2 U) // HTR (16)
(B2 L2 F2 U2 F2) // finish (21)

edit: didn't realize i could do U' D B', D B2 D' R U' L either, 21 is a lot easier to get from that variation

absolutely baited by (R) F2 U2 F' R, (U' L2 U2 L2 B) // 4a1 4e (10)

(U B2 F' R) // EO (4)
D2 F', (B U2 D2 F) // DR 4c3 (10)
(D B2 U') R2 F2 R2 U // HTR (17)
B2 R2 U D B2 U D // finish (24-2/22)
there is a +0 on this HTR but i found this with like 1 min left

way too much to check and then my only good DR is variation hell :(

B U (R' L' D) // EO (5)
R' F2 B R F' // DR 4c3 (10)
(L U2 L2 D2 F2 L F2 L) // HTR (18)
(R2 F2 B2 D2) // finish (22)

happy with this considering the scramble

(U R' L2 D') // EO (4)
(L), B U2 F' B2 L2 F L // DR 4a1 0e (12)
(B R2 L2 B' R2 L2 F') // HTR (19)
(D2 R L' U2 F2 R' L) // finish (26-2/24)

another bad result but funny HTR subset

(F') F2 U' B' // EO (4)
R, (L2 D F2 L) // DR 2c3 4e (9)
U2 B2 U L2 U' R2 U // HTR (16)
F2 D2 B2 R2 U2 R2 D2 // finish (23)

unfortunate solve, felt like i missed a bunch (including an easy 21 on this DR :/)

R' U' F2 D // EO (4)
L, D2 F2 L2 F L // DR 0c0 4e (10)
(U2 B U2 D2 B) // HTR (15)
(U2 D2 R L U2 F2 R' L) // finish (23-2/21)

R' (F D L') // EO (4)
(D' B', U2 L2 B U' B) // DR 4a2 4e (11)
(F2 D2 R2 D') B2 U2 B2 U' // HTR (19)
B2 R2 U2 F2 L2 // finish (24)
the variation of this DR looks cool

there is a 22 on this DR that i had:
F (U2 B') // EO (3)
(D' L'), U', (F2 D' L2 D') // DR 4b2 4e (10)
B2 R F2 U2 R2 B2 R' // HTR (17)
U2 B2 L2 B2 // leave slice (21)
+1 slice (22)

F (U' B) // EO (3)
(R' U, L' F2 U2 L' D) // DR 2c3 2e (10)
(R B2 U2 R U2 R') // HTR (16)
(U2 F2 R2 U2) // finish (20)

free 20

this DR had some 20s with double slice but they are not that easy to find imo:
F (U' B), D, (R' U B2 L2 D) // DR 4b2 4e (9)

B L (L') // EO (3)
U F2 D2 L2 U B // DR 4b2 4e (10)
U (F2 U' B2 R2 U' B2 U) // HTR (18)
(F2 L2 F2 U2 L2) // leave slice (23)
+0 slice

bruh i didn't see the setup to F' U2 R2 F
