For anyone crazy enough, I've reconstructed the order of the cubes in my attempt:
1. F2 R2 B' R2 U2 B' L2 D2 F' U L B D' U' L' B F' L' F'
2. L D2 L' U2 L' B2 L2 U' B2 R2 D' F2 R' F' R U' L' U'

Mike Hughey had scrambles 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, and 16 in some other random order.
This was my entire solution:

Mike Hughey had scrambles 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, and 16 in some other random order.
This was my entire solution:
1. Memorize cubes 1 through 6, strong refresh.
2. Memorize cubes 7 through 11, strong refresh.
3. Memorize cubes 12 through 16, weak refresh.
4. Solve last cube like normal BLD (M2+3OP).
5. Solve cubes 12 through 16, in that order.
6. Solve cubes 7 through 11, in that order.
7. Solve cubes 1 through 6, in that order.
A strong refresh goes something like this: Recall edges for cube 1 to ensure that I don't draw any blanks, go through edges on cube 1 to ensure memo was correct, do the same for corners, move on to cube 2, and so on. Since I'm going through every cube twice for cubes 1 through 11, I don't really go for security or accuracy of memo the first time, so I kinda scan through the cubes relatively quickly (about 1:15 per cube).
A weak refresh is just going through memo to make sure I don't draw any blanks, without going through the cubes again. So if I mismemorized a letter or overlooked a twisted corner, I won't be able to detect it with weak refresh. That's why I go through cubes 12 through 16 a little more slowly and carefully than the rest (about 1:45 per cube).
I found these scrambles really, really difficult. I didn't like them at all. A "nice" BLD solve has 10 or 11 letters for edges and 6 or 7 letters for corners. My memorization for this attempt averaged 12.1 for edges and 7.9 for corners (yeah, I counted).
I messed up cubes 5 and 16. Cube 5 was a recollection error, so I ended up with three twisted corners. Cube 16 was an execution mistake, so I ended up with a 4-cycle of edges and a 4-cycle of corners.
