This is the 4th task of my TAS competition. I think this one turned out pretty well! The participation was very good once again with 11 entrants and quite a bit of different strategies. I typically only go with tasks if I can think of at least 2 different, viable ways of completing it, but I was still surprised by how much variation there was.
More info on this competition can be found here speedrun.com/mm/thread/5ywn9 There was originally a ZSR forum to mirror the one for speedrun.com, but I will be phasing it out due to the unreliability of the ZSR forums (they were literally down for the entire duration of this task).
Task 4: Enter Astral Observatory from Termina Field and open the 100 rupee chest. End by voiding out. You must kill both big skulltulas. Goron Mask is banned. The balloon was not to be popped beforehand, and the wall was not to be destroyed beforehand.

![Majoras Mask TAS Competition: Task 8
This is task 8 of the Majoras Mask TAS competition. 6 entrants once again. This task was different from the others due to its weird door gimmick. This had potential to attract a different type of audience but may have been confusing for some players.
More info on this competition as well as the next task can be found here http://www.speedrun.com/mm/thread/5ywn9 Remember that you need to go to the 2nd page to see the next task. Task 9 is much more of a traditional type of TAS competition, but should still allow people to come up with some clever ideas.
Task 8: Enter Inverted Stone Tower Temple and leave. You must open at least 1 door, but you may not open any single door more than once. You may not die or use Song of Soaring. Goron Mask is banned.
The dungeon entrance cutscene was to be cleared beforehand, but otherwise the dungeon should be untouched. I did specify however, that having the boss warp active was fair game.
Results for Task 8.

I figured at least 1 person would figure out a way to completely break this task, and I was right.
