21.33 in the morning - a move left on the table in each solution (varying levels of obviousness), but a good performance regardless. Happy with the mean even if it was "sub21 fail". Afternoon is a completely different story with an obvious DR opt missed, suboptimal slice and a miserable attempt to finish it all. Only good thing is that R2A3 would've been much more painful had i started with 20,22 rather than 22,23.

You can turn this into slice in 19 with a blockyfish, but no +0.
20 is DR optimal, but there is a reasonable 19 of the EO, by doing:
... (R U2 D L U L2 D') //11+1 4c2e, either by knowing the 3c4e 5-mover or by 4c6e RZP in 6.
R D2 B2 R U2 B2 D2 R //19

One of the variants is 22 optimal, but the solution is
F' L F2 R F' B D' B2 U' B //10+4
R2 U2 F2 U B2 D2 R2 D' L2 U B2 U //22
Either R2 U2 F2 U and switch (no lol) or a 4c3 path, which I maybe should be looking at, but i don't.

Not sure how i coud've missed the 20 as I spent my entire attempt on this 10+1 and the 8+2 flip of it...

DR is easy 20 optimal, smh

Slice is actually +0 (😭) and that would be DR optimal here.

DR is 24 optimal. Only 3q path is switching a single move to 4b2 4e (which I did) and finding a 3 move setup to the 4 move trigger (which i didn't). Not like NISS HTR in 19 with R2 U2 F2 corners is something I must not miss.
