I mis-undid one of the EOs before the 4 mover that gives the 8+4 so I missed it...

I had this EO that could give 20 but missed a corner changing extension:

(L U B U2 R)
F U2 F U//2c4, but U2 F U2 F U gives  4b2 with 20...

Bad when I switched, but I noticed that F2 U gives JZP on normal so remove the (D)

Red DR case looks spicy from here so random bullshit go:

Nice scramble with 3 3 move EOs and lots of 4 movers. Very early in the attempt I found this 8+1 DR:

(F' D L2 F')
R (B2 U L)//4a1 2e, via premove abuse from checking R (D U2 R)

I checked this DR for super long and all I managed to find was a 21 (it’s 20 optimal), I actually checked the 18 DR quite late (>45 mins) because I thought that it was a 10+2 at first lol.

Btw for the 18 DR I didn’t really think of it as a specific trigger, I just tried RZP in +2 from the 3 move EO. This is also the same case I used to get a 22 from WC25 A1 I think lol

Had a 19 from it:

L’ F2 R’ U2 F U’ B U’ B
(U L2 U L2 F2 U2 L2 F’ B U2 F’ B)

Then I inverted the B move and checked it again and 18 appeared. (yes, this is FR propaganda here, the 2 moves to FR would have been obvious regardless of the way the B move is but well...)

Other DRs:

L’ F2 R
D2 B (U’ F’ U F)//4b2 4e, 20 opt (9)

R (D U2 R)
(B F’ L2 U B U)//4a1 4e, 21 opt (10)

Miracle result on an awful scramble. 

When I saw this 5c6e case after EO my first instinct was to do (F R') but the E slice was incorrect for it to actually work great. Then I thought (R') would preserve all the pairs so I just did it and it gave the fat antisune 3c4e case. In my last comp (SGCC2026) I also used the same case so that's cool.

I got this at somewhere between 40 and 45 mins and my hand was shaking so much from what an 18 19 start entails that I had to unironically wait 5-10 mins so I can write legibly on the answer sheet lmao

I actually checked the wrong variation (R' B R F2 etc) first and almost moved on without checking this one, that was close. 

This solution is also unique optimal after R2 (F) 😮

other:

U (F B' D')
(R D2 L F2 L2 R' B)//2c3 4e (11)

(F D L R' B')
(U R D2 U L' U)//4a1 4e (11)

D U F’ L2 B
R D2 F2 U’ R//2c4 (10)

D’ U B’ U2 F
L’ U2 F2 D’ L//2c4, didn’t even check these 2 tbh (10)

I also had 3 different EOs on this that gave DRs with the R U R L trigger but all were bad 💔

R2 F/F’ L’ B2 R’ 
D’ B’ U F B

(R’ F2 L’ D L’)
(B’ U’ F U D)

Mallard even finds a fourth one, but I missed it oops

U R F' R' L
F D F B/4b2 2e, you can get 20 from this

Final: B2 U B L2 B' U F L2 F L2 F B2 L2 R2 U2 L2 U F L' U2 B (this solution has no D moves...)

This 4e4c trigger is the first weird obscure one that I ever learned and the case is so unique looking that it has stuck with me since 2019, I’m so happy that I can use it to clutch WR 

I was just planning to stick to my usual approach here and check every sub-5 EO, every 5 move EO that's optimal for that axis, and every 1+4 NISS EO. However, white front on both normal and inverse was the 6 bad case with the largest number of optimal 5 movers, and there were 3 groups of 1+4s that had 8 solutions. This made my EO writing stage slower by a lot.

After checking all the NISS EOs and green and red EOs on normal I realised it's already >25 mins. I lowkey crashed out and just decided to just drop everything and check the 2 3 movers and their extensions

When I found the 21 DR I couldn't remember exactly what moves I did to get there, I just solved it with HTR to get back and write it down but the 21 just appeared immediately lol

This all happened somewhere between 35-40 mins, I went back to check all the EOs I abandoned and there wasn't really anything else so I was basically chilling in the last 10 minutes lol

Once again I legit couldn't write the 21 on the answer sheet immediately because of hand shaking lmao

Other:

(F2 D’ B R)
(U B’ L2 F2 D)//2c3, I thought this would save the attempt but then I saw 0e lmao (9)

U’ L (F2 R’)
B (U2 R2 B’ U2 F)//4c3 (10)
