Sometimes you gotta waste the good set, to succeed on the terrible one. Happy with 21.33 in the afternoon mean, I don't think there was anything left to squeze out of that one. 22.1 official ao12 between the 4 rounds this weekend, even if it started poorly on Friday morning.

(L2 U2 D2 L2) //leave wrong slice
[ ] = F' B2 R2 F' B2 //solve wrong slice
21 optimal and it's of switching (D) right away, which i did...

I was very lost in the variant for much of the attempt. 22 is optimal afterall, even if for a moment i thought i found something better.

21 optimal and with little alternative I really should've found it.

I first did ... B, R2 F2 R' U2 F2 D2 B2 L' D2 B2 and just sort of saw the 0e double slice through the whole thing.

I first did B2 U R2 F2 B2 U' B2 U //4x and from there I just sort of rNISSed(?) this HTR as i knew that R2 F2 B2 must cancel with 4x nicely.
DR optimal on this, but it wasn't very challenging.

DR optimal once again to finish of a good mean on a pretty bad set.
