PredicamentsThis is a good game for a company of ingenious people, and it will be
found that almost every one is ingenious when confronted with a
difficult situation and given time to think out a solution. Every one
is given paper and pencil (or this is not necessary since the
solutions may be oral). Then one player starts the game by suggesting
some predicament and asking the company "What would you do in such a
case?" Five minutes are given for reflection, and fifteen if the
answers are to be written. Then each in turn must say how he would
have extricated himself from the scrape.
A few suitable subjects are given here. If you found yourself in a
strange city, where you didn't know a soul, with no money and nothing
you could pawn, what would you do?
If you should wake up in the night and see a burglar just entering the
room, what would you do?
If you should look out of your school-room door and see smoke and fire
in the hall, what would you do?
If you should be in a foreign country, not able to speak the language
and wanted to order a room and breakfast, what would you do?
