Pretty easy 4/6/8 scramble, I spent a really long time on this DR and only managed to find a solution from a desperate 5q attempt... This finish is optimal, though it is also possible to get 21 with 3q.

I spent most of my remaining time on this DR:

(F R D F')
(R' B2 R U D)//4b2 (9)

18 is possible from a variation with some hackery:

(F R D F')
(L' D2 L' U D)//4b2 (9)

Apply the RLUD hackery:

(F R D F')
(L' D2 R') U' D' R L//4b2 in 11
(D' R2 D')
(U2 F2 L' R B2 L R')//solve in 18

Nice result on a fairly easy 6/4/6 scramble. I immediately tried 4q on this DR but I later found a pretty easy 20 with 2q as well.

6/2/4 with 4 3 move EOs, this scramble seemed the easiest of the three but I couldn't find anything better than 22 from the DRs I had. Turns out none of them were better than 22 optimal.

Mallard finds a 20 but you have to NISS a 4 move EO and do RZP so I don’t really think it’s findable considering the scramble quality.

Other:

B D2 L2 U
L2 B F2 L' B2 L//4b2 (10)

D2 L' B' L
(B U D2 B D2 B)//4b2 (10)

U2 F (D B')
(D) L2 R2 U' L2 U//2c3 (10)

(B L2 B2 D)
F' B2 D2 L F2 L'//2c4 (10)

Overall: This was the easiest set in the whole tour in terms of EO but the results didn’t really live up to the scramble quality lol

Also, this comp marks my 100th gold medal in WCA competitions :)
