this one is YOURS. it heats only while this tab is hidden — five minutes of total hidden time and it boils. right now it is frozen, because you are looking at it.

08 — the duel

out-ignore someone you know.

a duel is a race to ignore: a private room, one pot each, first pot to 100° wins. looking at yours freezes it — and everyone is told you peeked.

2–64 players per room peeks are public
