/**

 * The bots' flashes, measured.

 *

 * A flash used to reach 900 units — 70% of the map — and a bot threw every

 * charge the moment it was bought, so in a bot round somebody was blind

 * most of the time. The numbers below are the bug and the fix: a headless

 * match, the share of live player-seconds spent blind, and how many flashes

 * go off a round. Before this file: 4.4% blind, 6.5 flashes a round, and a

 * flash blinded 0.86 players on average — 0.20 of them the thrower, 0.43 a

 * team mate, 0.23 an enemy.
