some attempts succeed
Is that how it works? I always thought that attempt = try but failed. If it succeeds it's an assassination, not an assassination attempt (same as murder v attempted murder) (sincere question)
When you do something in your nth attempt the last one is still included in the number of attempts. The reason for the different rubrics is to differentiate between failed and successful attempts (difference in scale between actually murdering someone or trying and failing to do so).
I see, thanks
