Most of the 25 positions will be under 10 moves in lol

thank goodness

also on the jobova one I was super confused, but I thought the knight on f4 was funny, and thought it was some london, but it had to be jobova because that's what you like

I used Chessbase's position explorer to cheese the problem, but the answer is 1. Nf3 d5 2. b3 c5 3. e4. No clue what that's called

Norfolk Gambit, Carlsen played that against Anand a few years ago, if I remember correctly.

 

Yep, it comes from the Norfolk Gambit - 1.Nf3 d5 2.b3 c5 3.e4 dxe4 4.Ne5 Qd4?! 5.Bb2 Qxb2? 6.Nc3 Qa3?? 7. Bb5+ Bd7 8.Nc4 Qb4 9.Bxd7+ Nxd7 10.a3 and you have the position displayed.

 

Someone said a Scandi - Clearly that one is wrong.  The Norfolk Gambit is, in essence, a Reversed Fajarowicz.
