💡 Tips
- For Non-Liars: Be specific but not too obvious. Watch for vague or contradictory answers.
- For Liars: Use your hints wisely. Mirror others' specificity level. Don't overthink!
- Voting: Look for patterns across multiple answers, not just one mistake.
- Multiple Choice: "None of these" is implicit - don't select anything if all options are wrong.
