This week's attempts. At least it's not a DNF... 

1.

D * R U B // EO
D2 F2 (U R L F2)// bloc

sol: F U F' D F U' F' R U B D2 F2 U R' U B2 L F2 L F2 L B L' F2 L B' F2 L' R' U (30)
optimal was 29 but this was a backup so I one passed insertions and went on to look for something better



2. 
R' U' F L B' U' D2 L B' U B R2 D2 L D2 F2 R2 B L2 B2 U2 D2 R' U' F

(B R' F L) // EO
(F' U R2 D2 F) // DR
U R2 U' (B2 R2 U' F2 U') // HTR
(L2 F2 R2 D2 B2 D2 L2 D2 L2) // 26

sol: U R2 U' L2 D2 L2 D2 B2 D2 R2 F2 L2 U F2 U R2 B2 F' D2 R2 U' F L' F' R B' (26)
This was a good attempt. I had many Eo's and many DR's. I just wasn't able to find a good finish.



3.
R' U' F U2 F' D' R2 D2 F L2 F D2 F' U2 L2 R2 U' L R2 B' R' U' F2 R' U' F

(D) R' B' L' U' // EO
(F2 R' D2 B F' D2 B2 F R') // DR
(F L2 F D2 L2 F B D2 B' F2 * L2 F) // 3e

*: (F2 R' L D2 R L') // 6-3

sol: R' B' L' U' F' R' L' D2 R L' B D2 F' B' L2 D2 F' L2 F' R F' B2 D2 F B' D2 R F2 D' (29)
I feel lucky I even found a decent DR on this one. 10/10/8 is not very nice to see.

after time limit I finally found the direct finish:
(F L2 F D2 L2 F D2 B' L2 F' B2 D2 B' D2) // 28
