The rules
5 steps.
- A question appears. Nobody is told the real answer.
- Everyone writes a fake answer that sounds plausible.
- The fakes go up together with the real one, shuffled.
- Vote for the one you believe. You cannot vote for your own fake.
- A point for finding the truth, and a point for everyone your fake took in.
What the phone does
The phone holds the real answer back until the vote closes, and drops it onto the list without a name on it.
It is a dealer and a scorekeeper, never a judge. It cannot hear the room and it does not decide who was right.
