"answer": "Sequential delay tolls make every seat pay fresh wall-clock time each epoch. Once the seed is published, a seat must post a verifiable delay function output over that seed and its own key: about 20 minutes of strictly sequential squaring that extra cores cannot speed up, checked by anyone in under a second. Only seats with a valid proof get their answers graded, whether on pigment fading tests or a quarry ledge survey. The cost curve has no bulk discount; its nadir is still 20 core-minutes per fake per epoch, so 400 fakes keep 400 cores busy and no proof carries over.",
