opt is an unreasonable 24
I tried once because it looks kinda good, but have to use because other drs did not work out in time

other drs based on how much I spent time on (or rather, based on how much scrubs written on it)
U F' L (U) F' U (B' D' F' D) // 10 to 2c3 6e best I had was (B) F2 R2 F U2 F' D2 L2 D2 F2 R2 // 21 to double slice but nowhere good to insert, 22 opt

unreasonable 21 opt

spent most time on that dr until on the fourth quarter of the time
(R' F2 D L' B2 U2 B' U F) // 9 to 4b2 2e, alas its 22 opt is not meant to be as it's really unreasonable to find within such a short time

I forgot the D2 variation, but since it's 4e, I wouldn't spend that much time on it anyway

slice the L2 R2 with the last R to 20 to LR + FB
-> (L2 R2 D2 *) // 20 to LR + FB
*: B F' L2 B' F U2 // 25 to LR

the [L D2 L' R2 F2 D2 L] should've been replaced by [R2 L U2 R' U2 F2 R' L2] // 26
but I messed up somewhere in the paper, no idea where exactly, heck I couldn't even remember if I actually wrote 26 moves in the paper or not

wrote plenty of drs but nothing worth checking
23 opt, findable but not easy

21 opt, but I didn't bother trying from the front thinking it won't be better (I should have because the HTR I used is the first one I checked for the DR)

[U2 F2 R2 D R2 B2 U]
B2 D2 // 17 to UD + RL
B2 R' L U2 L' R // 22 to UD
originally solved the UD by
[] -> D2 B2 L2 D2 U' F2 R2 D // 23
wasn't happy with the RL moves, so wondering if I can change the D2 at the end into U2
[D2 U' F2 R2 D B2 D] -> U B2 L2 D F2 U2 // ... turns out it's cancelled, oops, for some reason I conclude it's not cancellable at first glance...

anyway
[F2 U2 B2 R' L U2 R L2 D2] -> F2 U2 L' D2 // 4a1, removing 5 moves, but I wasn't keeping up with the count
I tried inserting M and M' before the F2, but they both end up with slice ending instead of R', so in my mind I thought that's not an improvement at all, even though
[F2 U2 L' D2] -> L R' D2 F2 R L2 D2 // is only +3, which is lower than 5 ... (again I didn't realize I removed 5 moves, I thought it's -3 since in my head I'm only removing the slices)
