I did it intentionally, just as one of the indicators that contestants actually read the story.

Clearly you have. And you are the first.

You just won a bonus 0.5 SBD for being the first to notice that.

I am sending it to you wallet in a jiffy.

Congratulations

EDIT - There you have it!

Interesting! and thanks!

Actually, I had read the other 3 parts previously but skipped chapter 2. I had to re-read them for the sake of the contest.

The intention was exactly what you vindicated. I expect some people to try an d game the contest, say by reading the last chapter alone. That means they can not make the observation you did.

Unless they read all. I didn't say anything about this in the rules, but you obviously nailed. it. So much for being true! Thanks.
