The split at the end says 1:07.14, but very careful offline frame-by-frame analysis confirms that we split a fraction of a second late; the "GAME OVER" screen (which, according to the category rules, is when the time officially ends) appears when the time reads 1:06.90. Thus, we join the esteemed Bird Week Study Game 1:06 club!

Thanks to Zarc0nis for figuring out and advising us that the butterfly RNG is better if you fly to the right and loop around the course once before settling in.

Thanks to SeireaSong for figuring out that the butterfly RNG is the same each attempt, and thus one can "figure out," memorize, and anticipate their positions at least to a certain extent--it's still a bit dicey by the end, but the first three or so butterflies are almost automatic thanks to Sei's realization, and that made a huge difference in this grind.
