It’s lots of fun this game. Except it’s not. Because the aim of it is that you don’t know you’re playing it. Confused?

Basically, you’re playing it when you’re not thinking of it. The minute you think of it, you’ve lost the game.

I keep losing.

    i feel that the digging may have affected you in some way. although i have to say, whoever told you about the game is an evil genius

  2. I lasted four seconds.
    What’s your record?

    About a week. I hear someone lasted 5 years, until he heard someone saying they had lost the game, reminding him of it.

    I neglected to remember that posting the game in a blog would make me lose every time I saw it. Darn.

  4. I was at work today.
    I suddenly felt really happy in the middle of a ward round.
    I realised I had a new record.
    About 17 hours.
    I felt quite elated.
    Until I realised that I had just lost the game.
    Then I felt really rather deflated.
    I managed to hold back the tears until I was out of view of psychiatric professionals.
    And I managed to record the relevant information despite being somewhat distracted.

    It’s terrible remembering you are playing. Just terrible. I find it quite funny to announce loudly that I have lost amongst fellow game players I must admit. Because then it’s not just me losing.

    I am highly amused :-D
