The pinnacle of cunning is to make it seem like everyone else is cheating while coming out completely clean yourself. While each of our rivals tried adding a stone or two to their jars, didn't hesitate to add a few handfuls of mud — to each of theirs! In the end, our team's jar came out the lightest, but the others were so heavy, the judges decided to check their contents for authenticity. Oh, how the crowd laughed when our opponents' jars poured out stones and mud — while our jar contained only pearls! It was a complete triumph — every team but ours was disqualified, and we were awarded the victory by default!
