My first WR, looking back it's quite funny that WR came from 2c4/4c3/4c3

There were a bunch of short DRs with 5 move EOs but all had high qt counts, but luckily one had an 11 move finish ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I found the leave slice at about 45 minutes so I didn't have to rush anything. Fun fact: I wasn't originally planning to check the 8 niss EOs after F and switch, but I decided to just write them down mid attempt and check them for some reason. Great decision I guess?

I spent the remaining time trying my other DRs but could not find anything better than 21, even though it feels like the other 9 to 3qs might have some stuff. It turns out there is no DR I found that gave better than 21, although I wouldn't be surprised if someone finds an easy DR that I missed (Also spending the entire attempt with last night's spicy noodles causing trouble in my bowels is not good) EOs were 6/4/8 Side note, optimal for the scramble uses the 2 move EO but they are not findable There is also a 19 from JZP in 3: R (R') // eolr (2/2) D' (D') // rzpfb-eolr (2/4) L2 D F2 R2 D // drfb-eolr [4c3 2e] (5/9) F' D2 B (R2 D2 B) // htr-drfb (6/15) D2 // frud (1/16) R2 B2 R2 // fin (3/19)

The scramble looked pretty good even from the picture, so I had high hopes. I found that 11 to 2q DR set pretty early and I felt like there was a reasonable chance to get WR already. Then I found the 9 to 3q at about 30 minutes, and the rest just solved itself... I also wrote down my solution wrongly (the U' D was written as U D') and I spent nearly 10 minutes trying to diagnose the error lmao
