Rita recalled the maze rules. They only mentioned that the maze would open on the hour, with a 3-minute window to enter, but didn't specify the number of players allowed in:
"How many players do you estimate can get in within three minutes, based on the mechanical race's ticket-scanning speed?"
B8017913 replied, "Last round, 79 players got in within under 2 minutes. After that, the gate stayed empty for over a minute before closing. If all players prep their Blocks in advance before the game starts, conservatively, 150 players could make it in."

There was a battle happening up ahead. After telling B8017913 to keep monitoring, Rita stepped back a few meters and dropped the map fragment from her mouth into a corner at the turn.
The spot was blatantly obvious—textbook bait.
