(L’) L D R
U’ B F2 D2 F D’ F’//2c3 4e (11)
U’ (F2 R2 U’ R2 U)
(F’ B’ R2 F’ B’)//22 to E, +2 😠

Don’t feel like writing the slicing and final here since I didn’t have it on my sheet. 24 is DR optimal too

What a horrid scramble, mallard lists one possible sub-23, I had this EO but the 4e4c seemed like not a great case to NISS

L R B (D' B')         // eofb               (5/5)
                      // rzpud-eofb         (0/5)
(D' F2 L2 F2 U' L)    // drud-eofb [4b2 4e] (6/11)
U F2 U F2 U B2 R2 D'  // htr-drud           (8/19)
U2 R2 U2              // frud               (3/22)

Attempt 2

Scramble

R' U' F L F2 D' U R2 F2 U2 R2 U' B2 R U L D F' U2 B2 L F2 R' U' F

Results

U' L2 F2 L2 D2 R' U2 D2 L F2 U2 B2 R2 D F2 R' F2 U' F' U2 B'

(B U2 F)
U' (U F2 R F2 D')//0c0 4e, found via premove abuse (9)
[D2 R2 B2 R] U2 D2 L
F2 U2 B2 R2//20 to M

[]->L2 F2 L2 D2 R' (21)

Final: U' L2 F2 L2 D2 R' U2 D2 L F2 U2 B2 R2 D F2 R' F2 U' F' U2 B'

Nothing was working and I did a desperate switch at 40 min of U and this miracle DR showed up. I found this 20 to slice first:

(B U2 F)
U (U F2 R F2 D)
L2 B2 R F2 B2 L
B2 U2 B2 L2 U2

But it was +2. Only >50 mins did I find the other slice, which gives DR opt.

You can also get 0c0 6e by doing (U’ F2 R F2 D) instead which is kind of cool. Imagine if that gave 2e or HTR skip lol

This solve is on cam... for some reason https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftj2Mh0dEpw

Anyway I checked EOs too slow on this and only checked the 3 mover EO group at almost 30 mins lol. I spent a long time on this 8+1:

(B’ L B2 D)
(B’ [L B2 L])//4a1 4e (8)

[]->(R’ L2 U2 R L2)

(D2 F)
(U2 F2 U2 L2 U2 L2)//18 to S slice, it was not +1 so I felt dissatisfied with this.

I worked on this DR next:

(B L D’)
F R (L2 F’ L’ F’ L)//4b2 4e (10)

I couldn’t find anything from this DR (but it’s actually also 20 opt lol)

Only at 45 mins or so did I notice widening the L2 still gives DR, which is a bit annoying since I really should have spotted it from the get-go. 

I never went back to check the 18 to S after that but I found out it’s actually +3 so thankfully I go this lol

Other:

(B L D’)
(B L2 B R2 U2 L)//4c3 (9)

I also had a lot of other 11+decent DRs but I didn’t look at a single one of them oops
