One try feels like a whole other kind of challenge in and of itself. In the end, that seems to be what does her in. Too much concentration, and she starts when one of the monitors beeps in normal operation. She misses the order of flashing lights right then, and tops out at twenty-nine.

Howard wins this game, altogether. She slides Simon back at him, shaking her head. She's a somewhat gracious loser. "Your win." After all, this has actually been enjoyable.
