No instructions were given on how the participants were supposed to divide this reward. Apparently, they were supposed to figure it out themselves. While Leila was pondering and calculating, Fortis had already expressed his thoughts, followed by Alidum.
— Even if we are guided by self-interest, the option proposed by Fortis seems more logical. The current competition depended on the efforts of each participant, and the top ten, however impressive their results may be, would not have achieved Mr. Chaber's goal on their own and would have been further away from it than the participants who joined forces. The assistance of the other students was necessary for our collective success. Let's say we distribute the rewards according to the points earned. In that case, everyone who is not in the top ten will lose. And those of them who are most interested in the financial aspect of this event may not want to spend their time and energy on it in the future, without any guarantees. If there are enough such people, we simply won't complete the next challenge. No one will benefit from this. Therefore, in this situation, the pursuit of short-term gain does not seem like the best solution to me. Today you will get two hundred extra rewards, and tomorrow you will lose twice as much.
