Thus, at the beginning of every round, the playing field is even, because both girls are equally as far from the next stage as each other. If the winner of round 2 is the loser of round 1, and thus partway through stage 2, she will begin round 3 at 1/3 fullness, just like she began round 2. For instance, if the winner of the first round is half way through stage 1, she goes back to completely empty. In the next round, the loser begins at the new stage she has achieve, while the winner returns to the beginning of her stage. She cries out or something, to indicate the round ending. So, you have three stages: empty to 1/3 full, 1/3 to 2/3 full, and 2/3 to completely full.Įach round ends when one contestant reaches the fullest of her stage. To explain the 'first to 3', I'm not sure where the confusion is coming from, so I'll just restate with more detail, if you don't mind.
