The first time I did decently well, then I did worse, then I did horrendously, then I did better than the first time using what I'd learned from the mistakes! Awesome :)"},{"author_name":"OddballDave","author_uid":"11892","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 4:44pm","epoch":1387298340,"text":"@grifdail: The beam must go through the target the exact number of times.
