Pretty much the only thing i had on the scramble, optimal from variations which i’m quite happy with. There is a 22 from a 10+2 from one of the 6 5move eos i missed on the scramble, but oh well

Turns out i missed a 22 from my dr in final, from an htr i had but i checked it from the wrong variation, oops:
L’ F2 R F’ R
B’ D2 F’ R2 B2 U
(F2 U2 B’ L2 U2 B) // checked this htr from the other variation and switched (F2 U2 B’) but didn’t check the htr itself from the other one, oops
L2 U2 R2 D2 L2 // 22

"(L2 D2 R’ F B) // EO(5/5)

Other drs:
F D R’ B L
D L2 R2 D’ B’ // 4c3 in 10, bullshit 24 opt

(R’ F’ U R B’)
(U2 D2 R B2 L U) // 4c3 in 10, bullshit 24 opt

(R’ U’ F’ D L)
(U F D2 B2 L2 B) // 2c3 4e in 11, 23 opt but unfindable, hard to check if any of the 24s are from variations

L2 D F2 L’ U
(R B2 F L’ B’) // 4b4 in 10, extendable to 2c4 in 11

(R2 U2 R F B)
(L2 U’ F2 L D) // 5c trigger, so of course it’s 4b5 in 10

I truly don’t feel like i solved badly, just a lot of stuff to check and all drs decided to be hard or unfindable 24 opt. A couple of people found a 21 from 1+4 eo here but i had such a huge amount of linear 5movers that there’s no way i was finding that

What i consider to be what i missed on this scramble is this 23, which i missed because i was in speedrun mode and thought rzp was bad:
(R U' F' D L)                            // eolr       (5/5)
(U2 B R2 L2 D)                           // drfb-eolr  (5/10)
(B' D2 F2 U2 L2 B L2 R2 D2 L2 D2 F2 U2)  // fin        (13/23)

And this 22, which I missed because of a stupid decision not to switch the only linear 4mover on the scramble:
D F2 L' U                      // eoud       (4/4)
(R)                            // rzpfb-eoud (1/5)
R2 F U2 F2 B L'                // drfb-eoud  (6/11)
B D2 U2 R2 B R2 B' F2 L2 U2 F  // fin        (11/22)

All mallard’s 21s don’t look very findable
