The Clever Bit You know the name of the person you got out of the mug? Visit them last. Go around everyone on the list and ask them to pick a name. If they happen to pick their own name, ask them to pick again. Now go to the person you picked. There will only be one name left in the mug. Q : Did you hear the rumour about butter? A: Well I’m not going to spread it. |
