Do we know that saying “I don’t know” is a failure? Clearly accepting the one-sixth answer given by the guide would be a failure, and stubbornly sticking to a different wrong answer is probably a failure as well, but saying “I need more time and equipment to figure this out” might very well be tolerated.

This comment sure does seem to suggest that no, requesting more time and equipment is a failure… but no, I don’t know one way or the other, which is why I asked.
