I don’t think “much easier” is an exaggeration at all. It is hard to win with no help as you say. Which is why there’s a good chance that she would have been caught if the people who did have help knew there was someone they needed to catch. That being said, good on her for sneaking away getting out in front unnoticed. It’s not always just about pure ability.
