at-home attempts shortly after each scramble was posted. 'if I was there would this be what I got'? eh, 23 and 18 on A2 & A3 seemed quite simple but 21 A1 not so much. out from a flight and under a lot of nerves so early? i might've missed the pure 6c6e case, but the finish is easy. either way i don't really mind. this was certainly a more skill-based scramble set than FMC Worlds and moreso what i'd like to see at a majors. have the title feel a little more 'earned'

wacky 888, there was a lot of (bad) 7c8es, that i didn't entirely finish checking what i planned. luckily you can't reasonably do better than 21

found at 15 minutes and didn't improve sad


had both of these DRs, hard finishes
F (B L' D' F)            // eofb               (5/5)
U2 L' F2 R' D'           // drlr-eofb [2c3 2e] (5/10)
L2 D2 U2 L' B2 L' B2 L'  // htr-drlr           (8/18)
F' B' U2 L2 F B          // fin                (6-2/22)

F (B L' D' F')            // eofb               (5/5)
U2 F2 R' D2 L' D'         // drlr-eofb [2c3 2e] (6/11)
(L2 F2 R U2 L' U2 F2 R')  // htr-drlr           (8/19)
(U2 B2 R2)                // fin                (3/22)

i wish i saw this EO->DR, i checked many rzps in 6 and it looks so much like the 7c8e trigger
(L B R' U L')         // eolr               (5/5)
(D' B' R2 F2 D')      // drfb-eolr [2c3 4e] (5/10)
F R2 B (B)            // htr-drfb           (4/14)
U2 D2 L2 D2 L2 B2 U2  // fin                (7/21)
