The rule is a circuit breaker - it creates that rule whenever anyone 
wins. It's designed to stop situations where somebody finds a hole 
that anybody can exploit, exploits it to win, and then everybody else 
tries to use the same hole to win. This results in an emergency - the 
original finder wins, thus stopping game time; when game time turns 
back on, the next 'victor' wins, stopping the clock again; and so on 
and so forth. With this rule in place, only the first person can Win. 
Then, the proposal to fix the hole that led to the Win should also 
repeal the nobody wins rule.
