gollark: This is an easy problem if you simply communicate your guess to LyricLy and they tell you if it's right. Of course, they could be lying, and you may not want to reveal your guess publicly.
gollark: I was also thinking that it would be useful if we could give someone all the points ever after they somehow commit to revealing the information Host gives them to everyone who gave them all the points ever, but I don't think that's possible.
