Bug report for Devs: For the final round, when an option is selected and then back is clicked the "Exhibit Potion" text changes back to "Test on student" When selecting a potion to exhibit, the text reads "Pick a potion to sell" "Drink a potion" and "Test on Student" are the same option and could be combined but understand if you wanted to differentiate between actions All good otherwise.
