wtf, never gonna beat this. I already had a 20 from a DR in 8 (4b5) on the same EO.

18.67 Mo3 I think is WB! This scramble set was absolutely insane with potential of 18.00 that I stupidly missed... I don't know if I will count this as PB as iirc this scrambles aren't generated with TNoodle.

Absolutely ridiculous set of scrambles to start the year!

Other drs:
B' D F2 L' F
(R' L F2 R' D') // 2c3 6e in 10, 23 opt

B' D F2 L' F
R2 L' D2 L D' // 4a4 in 10, 24 opt

Optimal from my dr is a 22 from just doing 2q trigger on normal into double slice in 20, which is kinda skull to miss.

There's also a 20 from the only eo i didn't check, bruh, i would've for sure found this if i just looked at it, obvious jzp into obvious dr with setup trigger:
(B2 D' R2 U) //eo-ud (4/4)
(B') //rzp-ud (1/5)
B2 R2 B' R2 B //dr-lr-eoud (5/10)
L' U2 B2 R //htr-lr (4/14)
B2 R2 B2 D2 L2 D2 //finish (6/20)

(F) L' F // EO(3/3)
U' B2 R' U' // DR, 4b2(4/7)
B2 [R B2 U2 B2 U2 L] // HTR(7/14)
B2 R2 D2 // LS(3/17)

[] = L U2 F2 U2 F2 R(+0/17)

Holy shit, pb single by a move and first sub20 in exactly 100 solves(wow, i knew it was a lot but didn't realize it was that many)

I think i'll lock this in as last solve of the year lmao

U2 R2 F L // EO(4/4)
B' R2 U B' // DR, 4b2(4/8)
U R2 D // HTR???(3/11)
L2 D2 B2 U2 F2 L2 & // S(6/17)

& = L2 F2 U2 F2 L2 F2 U2 F2(+2/19)

Wtf is this scramble set, if i didn't miss 20 on a1 it would've been uwr, not mentioning that a1 also has a reasonable 18.

I had also these drs:

U2 F L
B'
U2 F2 U F // 2c4 in 8

And at 46 minutes after having 19 i found this, like wtf:
D F' B2 R
(L2 U F) // 2c4 in 7, had a 20 to slice but it's only 20 optimal, mallard doesn't find better than 19

Second DR and best solution for the hour:
B' D F2 L' F' // EO 5/5
(L' R B2 R' U') // DR 2c3 5/10
(L B2 U2 F2 D2 B2 L' D2 L) // HTR 9/19
(D2 F2 L2) // 3/22
Switch gives the same:
(L) L2 F2 D2 L' D2 L // HTR 7/17
F2 U2 F2 D2 F2 // 5/22
It's optimal yay!

First EO, what luck!
L' F (F) // EO 3/3
U' B2 R' U' // DR 4/7 #OMFG
B2 L U2 F2 U2 F2 R // HTR 7/14
B2 R2 D2 // 3/17
#I hope everyone found it, previous PB was 19, beaten by 2 moves

U2 F L // EO 3/3
B' D2 R2 U B // DR 2c4 5/8
U L2 U R2 D' R2 U // HTR 7/15
R2 D2 L2 F2 R2 F2 // 6/21
Optimal is 20 with B' U2 L2 U F // DR variation, and (D) premove for HTR(

Cool solve to start the year 😎

But I removed (B):

(U D' B' L B U')
F U L2 U' L2 D' F2 D'

Then shortened the finish with:

B' L2 F U' F U F' L2 F2 (-1)

Solution: F U L2 U' L2 D' F2 D' B' L2 F U' F' U F' L2 F2 U B' L' B D U' // 23
