Analysis of the Coin-Test Hypothesis assumes the Hurry Button is not used.

The Coin-Test Hypothesis asks simply whether the observable coin production predicts failure in the general case where the Hurry is not used. It seems to me this piece of the problem is not a spoiler, and is simply looking for a pattern that any player can see.

Responders are asked to avoid detailed discussions of messing with the hurry process, at least in this thread. It is known that action can change the result, that is not in dispute and is not properly connected to the Coin-Test Hypothesis, which could only be valid anyway as long as the hurry is not used.

To clarify the coin-test hypothesis is only advanced in the case when the player does not use the hurry button. We already know it cannot be true if the player does use this button.
