To max out your score... at the second activation do you use SP on the start of measure 113 or after the first 3 chords? Also, at the last activation, do you wait until after the GY chord (but before the next two) or do you try and include the GY chord... because I can't get the GY and the last chord... HELP! :P

Here's visual representation for this one.

Monkey Wrench Hard SP

The last SP should allow a squeeze of that single note and the final chord unless I count like a fool.

3-2-2

This might be optimal. Got all squeezes and a few extra points (muhahaha).

The path posted above is correct except for the 2nd activation actually gets you to the next chord (only leaves the single G before the next SP begins)

SO WHICH IS BETTER... 3-3 OR 3-2-2?!?!?

3-2-2, judging by excelon and NIN's posts. I'll give this a try sometime soon as well, and report back.

Edit- Yeah, 3-2-2 is better. I got 1K less with 3-3, despite messing up the last activation on the 3-2-2. Conclusive proof! (maybe)

No idea how you can get higher.
