Not sure how I missed the variation from not inverting the last move of the EO, but oh well.

Comments: Really happy with this solve, I don't think I could have possibly done any better than 22 on this scramble. Even though a 23 22 start isn't that good, I thought I could still be in podium contention because of how bad the scrambles were, but I didn't want to discuss results with other people too much and stress myself out.
