Or is it really all chance?

It's all chance, I'm afraid. That's why it's such an achievement to actually get the whole way through :)

Fair enough. :D

I once got really close (or I felt close, at least)

But I've never gotten through it :(

I've tried a lot of times but never made it all the way through. I was hoping to get a clue in here. I guess I just have to keep trying.
