The Game (Posted on 2006-12-14) Difficulty: 2 of 5
There is a game which is played by those unlucky enough to be duped into it called "The Game". There are 3 simple rules to The Game:

1. Knowledge of The Game is the only thing required to play it (whoops, shouldn't have read this!!).
2. If you think about The Game, you lose.
3. If you lose The Game, you must announce it to anyone else who also plays.

Can you ever win The Game?

Lets clarify this...

When someone loses they don't stop playing. The Game continues, even if all players lose at once.

If you think about the game because someone else lost (and announced it) it doesn't count as losing the game

A friend of mine says that hearing someone else lose the game must be the win condition, but we aren't playing to win... are we?
