Optimal for 1qt but 23 DR opt with 3qt.

I am pretty certain I found all of the sub-5 move EOs EXCEPT the one that gives the free 19 lol. Result sucks but it atleast let me lower my expectations for the next two solves and calm my nerves a bit.

This result was DNFed by WRC because my handwriting wasn't clear enough.

Woaj on A3 holy shit

I actually cannot believe I found this. I didn't even find this EO during the initial EO writing stage because I got so distracted writing down a bunch of useless 5 movers on F/B normal that I forgot to check NISS EOs. 

After 50ish minutes of milking all of my 5 movers and finding absolutely nothing but trash like 0c3 in 11, I went back to see if I missed any EOs and boom, there's 2 NISS 4 movers. I find the RZP and solve to DR but not optimally because I didn't know there was a better way to do it lol. The first DR variation I try ends with U2 B2 U2 R and I see that it's already setup to the J shape 7 move trigger, but the HTR after both trigger variations sucks, so I go through D2 B2 D2 R, U2 B2 D2 L, and finally I see D2 B2 U2 L has the same J shape trigger, but this time the HTR is 3 moves to solved!
