My corners first solution:
B2 L' B' U2 L U2 L' U2 L U2 R' E2 z U L' E L D2 L2 F' E2 F L2 u U L' E L' E' L' E2 L E L2 U
That's 41 HTM, 34 STM. With STM counting I would have finished in 2nd place :rolleyes:

Adam > It was lost before.

The MacDo relay was very fun !
Adam put some 333 in front of me so I began to solve them.
And while I was solving the 333s, he took every puzzle he found on the table, scrambled it and put it in front of me, so at the end I had to solve every thing in the list of the semifinal :D
At the end, he wanted to add a 777 but I just had a 333 to solve, so he didn't have enough time to scramble it :p
