Scramble: R' U' F D F2 L D2 R' B2 F2 R' U2 B2 R D U' L' D2 R' B' D' R2 F' R' U' F
Solution: R2 D2 L2 D B' L' F2 U2 B' D2 R2 U2 F2 R2 U2 F2 U2 F D2 B2 L B' L' D2 F2 (25)

R2 D2 L2 D              4/4
B' L' (F2 D2 L B L')    7/11 2qt
F2 U2 B' (B2 D2 F')     6/17
D2 R2 U2 F2 R2 U2 F2 U2 8/25

Optimal from the DR was 22, using a 1 move longer HTR:
F2 U2 B (U2 F2 U2 F')
(U2 F2 U2 L2)

Lesson: try wasting moves before / during HTR, especially if the make blocks.

Wasted moves: 3

U2 B2 D' R2             4/15 blocks
D' B2 U2 L2 U2 U2 B2 D  8/23 3c
D' L2 D R2 D' L2 D R2   8-2/29

Desperate backup from the only acceptable DR I had (others were 12+4, 11+5 or worse).
Optimal from the DR was 25, for example:

U (L2 F2 R2 D' B2 U)  7/18
(R2 F2 * D2 R2 B2)    5/23 2e2e
* = F2 R2 F2 L2 B2 L2 6-4/25

Not amazing, but definitely better than a 25.

Lesson: familiarize with setups to R U2 L trigger for HTR.

Wasted moves: 4

* = R L' U2 R' L F2             6/27

There are findable 22s, for example:
(D' B2 L2 F2 L2 D F2 * D2) 8/18 3e
* = F2 L' R U2 L R'        6-2/22

Lesson: don't be dumb?

(F' B' U2 F B')       5-2/19 2e2e
* = R2 L2 F2 R2 L2 B2 6-3/22

Good solve, best solve of the comp on this scramble I believe.

I missed this 10 move finish for the DR: R2 B U2 L2 F B R2 L2 B U2.
It looks findable, but I don't blame myself for not finding it.

Scramble: R' U' F L B2 F2 L2 D2 L' D2 L' D2 R B' D L2 F U' B2 D' L2 F2 R' U' F
Solution:

(D U' R' L B)           5/5
(L2 U' R' B2 D2 L)      6/11 3qt
(D) R2 F2 U' B2 U'      6/17
B2 L2 D2 R2 U2 F2 D2 B2 8/25

I had this 23 to slice written down after the same HTR:
B2 L2 B2 U2 L2 B2

I could have finished like this:

(D) R2 F2 U' [1] B2 U' 6/17
B2 L2 B2 U2 [2] L2 B2  8/23 slice

[1] = E  0/23
[2] = E' 1/24

Solution (24):
(D) R2 F2 D' R2 U' R2 B2 R2 U D L2 B2

This would have been optimal after DR.
IIRC this was a bad scramble, I would have been happy with a 24.

Lesson: learn how to slice.

Scramble: R' U' F R F' D L2 B2 L2 U' B2 D' L2 B2 L2 B' D' R' F2 D R2 U' F2 R' U' F
Solution: U R B2 R B2 D R2 L2 B2 D B R2 U' L2 U F2 D2 L2 B2 D2 R2 B2 D2 B2 (24)

U R B2 R                4/4
B2 D R2 L2 B2 D B       7/11 2qt
R2 U' L2 U              4/15
F2 D2 L2 D2 R2          5/20 2e2e
R2 D2 B2 D2 R2 B2 D2 B2 8-4/24

Looks like 24 is optimal after the DR.
Tied best solve for the attempt with Cyprian and Wojtek, apparently it was hard.

I had another similar 11 move 2qt DR with +11 optimal, but it was only findable with 4qt HTR:
U L U2 L
F2 U R2 L2 F2 U F
(U R2 U' B2 L2 U F2 U)
(L2 D2 L2)

The HTR can be justified / explained like this:
Case: good bar / slash + bars (2qt), but edges are hard to setup.
By going to bar / slash + one bar and immediately back we can improve edges.

I can't blame myself for not finding this, but it is good to know.

Lesson: improve sub-optimal HTR paths and learn when to use them.

Solution: R' F L2 B2 R2 U2 B' D2 L' R' F2 R' L' F' U B D2 R2 F' U' R' D' R2 (23)

R' (R2 D R)          4/4

(F) F L2 B2 R2 U2 B' 7/17
D2 L' R' F2 R' L'    6/23

Optimal from this DR was 22 with 5qt, overall happy with this solve:

L2 F D2 F U2 F D2 B2 L2 B D2 F [U2]
L2 F D2 F U2 B' D2 F2 L2 F' D2 F [U2]

It was pretty much the only DR I had.

Lesson: writing down all HTR variants (like I do) does pay off, sometimes.

D' B R' U2 F'             5/5

(B2 L2 D2 L2 U2)          5/22 2e2e
(U2 L2 B2 L2 U2 F2 R2 F2) 8-4/26

Optimal from DR was 25 with 3qt and a non-HTR looking solution. Not mad about the 26.
The problem is I had many DR, all horrible except this one.

Radek had a 22 from an EO I actually forgot to write down.
But I don't know if I would have switched after a 6 move RZP.

L' U F' U D          5/5
F' (B2 R L' F')      5/10 4qt
L (R B2 R' B2 D2 R') 7/17
(U2 R2 B2 D2 B2)     5/22

Lesson: be Radek. Or try to recognize when long HTR path can be good because of edges, that may work too.

(R2 B' U2 R2 F' D2 F2 R2 B') 9/19
(L2 F2 U2 D2 R2 U2)          6/25

There were some 24s but they were 5qt.
Second best solve on this scramble after Radek's 21:

(L' B') U2 F'                           4/4
U F2 U2 R' U                            5/9 2qt

(F2 D2 F2 L2)]                          4/21 slice
[] = (R D2 L' F2 U2 R D2 R B2 U2 B2 R2) 0/21

Lesson: look and learn how to recognize 4-move NISS EOs with 2+2 like this.

* = F U2 D2 B2 U2 D2 F       7-1/28

There was this findable 23 from the same DR, similar HTR:

(D') D' L2 D' F2 D2 B2 L2 U' 9/19
F2 L2 F2 R2                  4/23

Unfortunately I did not try (D) to start the HTR, not sure why.
The scramble was bad, most of the EOs I tried had "almost something". This made me waste a lot of time to check them.
In the end I even tried the right DR, but missed the good HTR.

Lesson: become more confident with long HTR, make sure to try all variants.

(D2 F2 L2 F2)           4/21 2e2e
* = U2 F2 U2 B2 D2 B2   6-2/23

Pretty happy with the result, but the insertion was lucky. Optimal from the DR was actually 24.

Missed Radek's 10+2 DR from the same EO:
(L2 B' U' R)
(U2 L2 B R2 B U') 

Lesson: everyone found a 22 but eh, I was probably just tired

(U' B2 R2 D L2 D)         6/18
(B2 R2 F B D2 R2 D2 F' B) 9-2/25

It was possible to get 25 with a more standard HTR + finish:
(B2 D L2 B2 U' B2 D)
(U2 R2 F2 U2 L2 F2)

This scramble was fucking awful and I am ok with my 25. I had very few DRs, few EOs.

Lesson: get better scrambles

U' R2 B2 D               4/17
R2 U2 R L B2 R' L        7/24

Not bad but there was an easy 23 from this DR:
D (F2 L2 D)                 4-1/16
(R2 * U2 R2)                3/19 2e2e

Optimal from DR, nice!

Very hard scramble, 25 is not bad here.
I had few other DRs, all bad.

Lesson: the only 4-move EO was the dreaded 2+2 NISS U2 B (L2 F). Learn these!

B2 F2 D' B2 D2 U' F2 R2 D' R2 U D2 L2 U R2  15/26 solved

Very sad. This was the easiest scramble of the comp.
I should have gotten a 21, or at very least a 23.

From this NISS EO in 4, there was an easy 9+3 DR:

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

Lesson 1: the "1qt" cases are not good if you cant HTR the edges.
Lesson 2: FIND. ALL. NISS. EOs.

Wasted moves: 3 at least
