Handle rounding properly: only round if the riddle explicitly tells you to, and round at the end (not mid-calculation).

Good practice:

  • Keep exact values (fractions/decimals) while solving.
  • Round to the requested precision once you have the final answer.
  • Re-check totals using the unrounded values if possible, then present the rounded result.
