The bit everyone gets wrong
It is multiples, not digits. Seventeen has a seven in it and is still just seventeen.

The rules
4 steps.
- Go round the circle counting up from one.
- On any multiple of seven say buzz instead of the number.
- Fourteen, twenty-one and twenty-eight are all buzz. Seventeen is not.
- Say the wrong thing, or hesitate too long, and you are out.
What the phone does
The phone shows the next number and whether it should be a buzz. It cannot hear you — the group calls the mistakes.
It is a dealer and a scorekeeper, never a judge. It cannot hear the room and it does not decide who was right.
