The evaporation from C condenses on D and falls back into the system. It's a closed loop. The 'hidden variable' is that there is no final vessel.

After two minutes, Thorne said, "Time is not unlimited, Mr. Vance."

The world's smartest had seen this as a "look-and-say" sequence. They would write "312211" and move on.

Kaelen didn't hesitate. "I'd ask either guard: 'If I asked the other guard which door leads to freedom, which would he point to?' Then I'd choose the opposite door."
