Closing criterion
Close when both people say the same four facts:
- The five o’clock party start.
- The guest and cake at 5:30.
- The family photo at 5:45.
- Dinner at six.
Success: You kept the five o’clock start and six o’clock dinner, heard the 5:30 arrival and moved only the photo. You repeated cake, arrival and photo times.
