@hysop I think there might be a special rule with your name on it.

Here I thought it was gonna limit the amount of times I could switch my guess Imma try to scientifically calculate the best time once again. Too many calculations!!

That is exactly what the special rule is.
Limit is 20.

I pride myself in reading the rules. Where does it say 20 times? Not that I would go the full 20. Maybe 17 times or 18. 19 if I’m feeling a little wild

But on a serious note, am I blind? Where’s the 20 times max?

it’s a special rule!! Duhhh I’m slow tonight.

It’s an unspoken rule. A “read the teeny tiny fine print” rule
