They weren't playing the game right. The way to correctly play the game, especially among siblings, is for a person to always pick the same song. For example, if I'm tapping, I'm tapping 'Jingle Bells'. And we have a near 100% success rate. (It is not quite 100% due to the initial learning curve, but the success rate then steadily improves over time.)
That said... I'm tapping a tune as I type on this keyboard. Can you guess it??
Love it!
That brings to mind a fantastic set of posts on Mind Your Decisions (game theory blog) about focal points and coordination problems. If there's anything identifying about one of the songs - even being first on the list - it's a good idea to choose that one.
... Man, I bet psych researchers hate people like us.
This post was what motivated me to get the book. It's a great book.
As both a 'person like us' and a (prospective) psych researcher, I can say: nah, we just toss us out as outliers.
