Final notes:

It is actually the most efficient to just Circle the Well and risk having to start over rather than Watching by the Well until you reach over 770 (risking starting over at <385) or the 'no-restart' method of using Wait by the Well. All of the following are with 100,000 reps.

Circle ONLY Method:  (one Wait followed by Circle):

Mean: 50, Median: 45, St.dev=23, Max: 261

Watching Method (start with Watching, switch to Circle at over 770 points)

Mean: 51, Median: 46, St.dev=23, Max=268

Safety First Method:  (Wait if under 385, Watch if under 770, Circle at over 770)

Mean: 61, Median: 54, St.dev=28, Max=313.
