ANOTHER MAD SPEEDRUN, THIS TIME COMBINED WITH CLEVER ROUTE-PLANNING  (A KIND OF "TRAVELLING SALESMAN PROBLEM")! :D  
  
| RANDOM SEED: 78  
AGAIN, I HAD TESTED ALL SEEDS BACK WHEN I MADE THE GDASH CAVESET "BD1 EXPERT LEVELS", AND THIS ONE APPEARED MOST INTERESTING, WITH THE Ξ BLOCKED OFF.  
  
| REQUIREMENT: 22/22 (OF COURSE)  
  
| TIME: 27  
MY OPTIMAL THEORETICAL SOLUTION NEEDS 22 1/2 SECONDS, INCLUDING ONE INSTANT Β PUSH. SO THAT'S 4 1/2 BONUS SECONDS GUARANTEED, THAT'S CLEARLY MORE THAN CAVE A BECAUSE OF THE MUCH BIGGER COMPLEXITY. WITHOUT RELYING ON LUCK, IT'S AROUND 3 1/2 BONUS SECONDS.  
  
SCORINGS:  
Α 340 = MINIMUM; THAT'S ALREADY HARD ENOUGH (WHICH MEANS, SLIGHTLY TOO HARD FOR ME) ;)  
Α 350, 360, 370 =ADDITIONAL CHALLENGES  
Α 380 = MY CALCULATED THEORETICAL MAX  
Α 390 = WOULD NOT TOTALLY SURPRISE ME IF THAT'S POSSIBLE  
Α 400 = WOULD TOTALLY SURPRISE ME IF THAT'S POSSIBLE  
Α 410+ = WTF...?! :D

I'M HAPPY TO SEE SOLUTIONS ALSO FROM OTHERS THAN OUR WELL-KNOWN SUPER SPEEDRUNNERS darkstoorm AND nesdori! I TAKE THAT AS A CONFIRMATION THAT THE DIFFICULTY, AS INSANE AS IT IS, IS STILL NOT COMPLETELY EXCLUSIVE TO ONE OR TWO PLAYERS :D

WELL, I THINK MY SCORE AND MY NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS ARE PROBABLY SIMILAR NUMBERS. :)

IT'S ONE OF THOSE CAVES WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE TO PRACTICE THE MOST OPTIMAL PATH, BUT EVERY Β WILL CHANGE THE RUN ALMOST COMPLETELY AND YOU HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN HAHA :D  
  
ALSO ONE OF THE THINGS I DON'T HAVE THE PATIENCE FOR :D THAT AND ΘΘΘΘΘ

darkstoorm, HOW ABOUT A RE-UPLOAD OF THIS CAVE, WHERE THE Β-TO-PUSH IS LIGHT, AND WITHOUT TIME LIMIT? THEN I CAN ALSO SHOW MY OPTIMAL ROUTE - I STILL HAVE A FEW IMPROVEMENTS TO YOUR TOP RUN TO OFFER :D  
  
HOWEVER, I THINK THE BIGGEST IMPROVEMENT TO THAT RUN IS ALREADY SHOWN BY heywood RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING - THERE Κ GETS THE Α WHICH IS 8 STEPS BELOW THE Ν CLEARLY QUICKER, WITHOUT SUCH A BIG DETOUR!
