Sucrose Comes Back if You Miss or Fail the Exam

It is possible to miss the exam if the player does not approach Sucrose during the cycle where she is available, or fails to pass the exam in the 3 attempts given.

However, players will not need to wait long to retake the exam as Sucrose comes back 1 to 2 cycles later to offer it to the player once again.

On the Expert Exam you only need 7 not 8 Mints to pass the exam. And you need a good grid to put those. Please change the numbers needed since it misled me.
