I stared in utter confusion. It felt like my brain had broken down or malfunctioned. I couldn't realize what I had done wrong. Even if the real number was bigger than the one I calculated, this still should have been possible! My thinking was flawless, but what wasn't was my idea.
In the first round, I looked at the majority of the chest around me, and the highest I found was seven. Just by this I now realize that the final number should have been from five to ten. It's pretty logical if I think of it now.
I clenched my fist, as I felt the blood start to boil from my sudden frustration. Sweat dripped on the ground from my forehead. How many times had I escaped death in this game?
If the highest amount of golden coins spent was seven, then they would have thirteen for the second and third rounds. And even if for some reason they deposited six coins in the second round, they would still have seven.
