Thanks for the tips. I tried, I really did. Including by hitting the wrong one about 10 times in a row to slow down the game. Still, only got to the third round, and there are five. Getting through this by accident or by trial and error, sounds exceedingly unlikely.
Couldn't be bothered to try the film with phone trick, when an in-world option is
right there... Yes, I was weak, but also got to see a new cutscene by lobbing 30k at the corporate shill.
It was kinda nice actually

And I had forgotten there were all these credits rolling, and all the creatures etc shown. Plus what looked like Krobus flying over the valley in the claws of an owl or suchlike

I still have some goals, tho. Any
year now, I'm bound to remember to do a certain thing on the last day of a season. Damnit!
A second kid would be nice too, but that is amusingly not in my hands. You hear that, Penny?
And continue to build more fishponds and fill them with legendaries. Heck, if I don't get too bored with the game or want to start over, may even try my hand at interior design, besides placing down some of the 9999 plants Lewis's machine is spitting out.
