A* This first session, Syn got the first 2 right with no trouble at all. Then she started thinking too hard and got the next 5 wrong. Then 1 right, 1 wrong, and 1 right.

B* We took a 5-minute break and tried again. No problem at all. 

C* Went back to yesterday’s sample once. No problem there either.

D* Sample fresh from the fridge. Sweet and fast, made one error on the next can over, corrected herself, checked the right one several extra times before being sure.

E* Got going too fast (late supper), missed the target, doubled back or came around eager to find it and hit the one next to it.
