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?

A person who has Knowledge of "The Game" is not the same as knowing one is actively participating in the game. The rule that announcing one has lost does not state the person
must announce that he lost "The Game", therefore a player having knowledge of "The Game" may not acquire a mental connection that he was an active participant to "The Game".  He may not or ever after be thinking about "The Game", and thus he will then be a winner of "The Game".
