Added DiffLines:

*** She didn't just write it in Polish. She wrote it in Polish ''in shorthand''. She essentially forced anyone who tried to steal it to have to crack two barriers to read it.


Added DiffLines:

** When the clues are passed out, instead of immediately opening hers, Sydelle has Angela listen with her to how the other teams are reacting to their own clues. That gets them a bit of an advantage later, since they're able to use the reactions to make very good guesses as to what some of the other clues were.
