interesting proposition, but the proposed approaches tend to forget that a given participant may block the process by not participating and claiming an incentive. All the approaches suppose participants will join the game.

Thank you for your clarification. Considering the time constraint mentioned in Rule 5 (Failure to act within the time limit results in a loss of opportunity), attempting to stop the process would likely lead to the loss of the opportunity.

Moreover, participants cannot prevent the process from taking place since the host will assign named cups for every guest, and eventually, the first and last cups will be filled. Even if someone decides not to participate, their cup will still be placed in the middle, resulting in a lost opportunity.

If you have any further questions or if there's anything else you'd like to discuss, feel free to let me know!
