There is a findable 23 on this jzp but you have to reduce to 4a1 on normal and whack, didn’t have time for that

Other drs:
(U’ R2 L B)
(L B2 R U2 R’ U) // 2c4 in 10, 24 opt. Found a 25 from this in the last minutes but wrote it down wrong by 1 move

(U’ R2 L B’)
(R D2 L2 U2 R’ U) // 4b5 in 10 with blocks, 23 opt

(D L’ U F’)
(U2 L2 D2 F2 R D) // 4b5 in 10 but a 1move extension gives 21, ooops

U2 R’ L’ F L’
F B U’ B2 D // another 4b5 in 10

D U2 R B’

F2 B2 L’ U L’ U // 2c3 6e in 11, 24 opt

(U’ L2 B R2 U)
(L B’ F R’ F’ R’) // 4a4 in 11

Really messy attempt with a lot of shitty short drs. Kind of 21 miss but i didn’t think of that extension. Also there was a lot of noise from a crying child and an air alert this attempt so it also contributed to me being distracted between everything.

Really really happy with both finding this dr and the unique optimal from the first 5 moves. This is another attempt when I found solution at 57 minutes but this time i wrote it down correctly

Found this backup 22 very early:
B’ L’ B R’ F’
L’ U2 F2 R L’ D’ // 2c3 2e in 11
(R’ B2 U2 L F2 U2 L)
(U2 F2) // slice in 20+2

Optimal from dr

There is this 20, but other than this rzp in 6 i don’t see a reasonable sub22 from mallard:
B (R2 D F')       // eo-fb       (4/4)
(R2 D)            // rzp-lr-eofb (2/6)

Optimal from jzp is 23 and you have to do 2 half turns before first qt, bruh

There is this one 20 from mallard, and also Tymur had a 2c3 in 10 with a pretty easy 21, but other than those i don’t see reasonable sub22s:

What a fucking scramble, i laughed outloud when i found 22. I honestly dont remember last time getting double 10 axis, and this had a total of 24 5movers, none linear(I found 12)

Are you fucking kidding me lmao, what have i generated. 4 10 bad axes in a row(cause non-10s where first on a2 and last on a3), but on this scramble the non-10 axis actually was good, so this scramble felt pretty decent despite double 10. 22 ties mallard here so i’m happy with this solution

Also found this:
F’ B’ (L U’ B)
L D R // 4c4 in 8 with 22 optimal again but here i got 22
